COMMUNITY SERVICE

The main task of this module is to provide community service that helps the current societies. After forming a group of around 20 plus members, we are given a chance to choose whether conducting a campaign that helps the stray dogs or the disable children. Our group has decided to run an adoption campaign for stray dogs from animal shelter, and the animal shelter that we are assigned to, is Lass Animal’s Soul Shelter (LASS). Before running the campaign, we are invited to Kuala Selangor twice to participate the briefing about basic information of taking care stray dogs. During the briefing, we are taught to clean the shelter and also the dogs. Taking bath of the stray dogs is a good activity that enhances our interactions with them and hence we will become more familiar and experienced of handling them.
After having a deep discussion, we decided to divide our members into four teams; there are Social Team, Production Team, Pet Shop Team and Adoption Team.
At first, I am assigned to the Pet Shop Team with a total of 7 members; we are required to promote the campaign and interviews people around that area. However, after a day of working, we found that the works of this team can be done with 3 people. Therefore, I am then assigned to the Adoption Team that need more man power.
The tasks of this team are to promote the campaign, raise funds and also get the stay dogs adopted. First of all, some of our team members wake up at 5am to get prepared and take the dogs from shelter to One U Central Park at around 6.30am. During the event, we work as a team to send message or awareness about those stray dogs by showing them some posters that we made. After briefing the awareness, we are then asking around for people that are interested in dog adoption. Besides that, we are also aid in the fund raising by promoting the postcards that other teammates have designed and produced. At the park, we are responsible to take care every stray dog that we bring and make sure they are being in comfort condition.
As a conclusion, we had successfully get 5 dogs adopted and had raised a total of 2k plus funds. This is really a meaningful module that helps spreading awareness and hence makes the community become better. Least but not less, thank you for all the people that lending their kind hand to complete this campaign.
