Wootz!
In the area of service learning, our group agreed to put our main focus in extending our help to those children facing learning/ intellectual difficulties. We done research on Tourette Syndrome and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) etc and decided to put our attention to the latter. I think it is better for us to work as big brothers to aid the DND children cope better both academically and mentally in their school life.
However, in the service learning project, we are also trying to promote awareness of ADHD by working with the Society For The Promotion of ADHD Research and Knowledge. Meanwhile, as a start, we would like to work with the Care Corner Educational Therapy Service as our centre to kick off service learning from a smaller group. The activites that the team has thought of include interactive sessions with games etc for the ADHD children to improve their learning skills (like paying attention) and understand the problems they faced in school through a relaxing and fun way. For future plans, we then brainstormed for ideas and came up with the idea of putting up a show to raise awareness besides the normal pamphlets and talks.
The first stage of our team’s plan basically is concluded. I feel that the challenge in undertaking this project is the lack of time due to school and our various CCA commitments because we understand that service learning is a long learning process before we can actually see the benefits we can bring to the ADHD children. However, it would be an enriching and fulfilling experience for me being able to help those unfortunate ones and actually make us feel good about ourselves if we could really make a positive impact to the lives of the ADHD children.
