Road to Juara

They say anything worth finding won't be easy to find..whoever they are. And in relation to this post, it is true, though.

Hello, this is Daniel from group 3 of Taylor's University DC9 typing. Before you read further, please be warned that my writing style is awfully casual. I made this blog because..well, I had to. This is a part of an assessment for our Community Service Initiative class, or CSI for short. "Cool name", I know right. Anyways, this semester we were supposed to do some sort of community service under the theme of "Education for All". So basically we were supposed to teach some people in some place something. Sounds simple? Yeah right.

My group decided that we wanted to find an orphanage or a shelter for underprivileged kids. My group members like kids. We searched nooks and crannies of the Internet and eventually found a place we saw fit for our criteria. It was called RACTAR, short for Rumah Amal Cahaya Tengku Ampuan Rahimah. Our leader, Andre, contacted RACTAR and told them that we want to do community service in their place. The person on the phone said yes. We informed our lecturer that we found our place, showed her our proposal, and she approved. End of story..NOT.

The week after, just a couple of days before we were supposed to do our first meeting, Andre called RACTAR again to say that we were going to come the next day. Guess what. Plot twist. The person on the phone said that RACTAR was booked for activities by some other group of people and so our group couldn't go there for at least 4-5 weeks after that week..which is already too late for the deadline of our subject's due date. Things just got real bad real quick.

Andre, in his panic and frustration searched for other places in Petaling Jaya area via the Internet. Sounds easy? Nope. Not as easy as it sounds. By that time, most of the places were also booked for activities. After a couple of days of searching, researching, and contacting the places we eventually decided on Pusat Jagaan Rumah Juara in Jalan 1/5 Petaling Jaya, hence the title of this post and the blog.

So we went to this unlucky place today. I could write about what happened today, but then again it wouldn't be fair for the others, would it? They also need something to write about. And I also don't gave any pictures to give details about. Ok that was just an excuse for me to stop writing here. I guess in a couple of hours Andre will write the continuation of this story. Don't worry, you'll still see my works here in this blog as an editor. See y'all real soon.
