After the preliminary rounds, we managed to ace it quite well. Despite our tight schedules, we managed to squeeze out some time out of the previous few days of prelims to complete our powerpoint. However, I feel that it is partly my fault for not starting things early. It is of utmost importance for a team to have a schedule to complete tasks before deadlines. In our case, we only did it right on the deadline. If something else had cropped up, we might not have been able to make it through.

I must, on the other hand, commend my team for being a responsible and active team and being serious about this project. They have been extremely supportive, turning up for events, meetings and cips, and regularly doing their reflections. On this issue, I feel that they have done extremely well. I hope that we will continue to keep this up.

Prelims is only the beginning, and our planning have basically ended. Now is the time to start the real action. We have begun our project activity with a CIP activity at Marsiling with Food from the Heart, and this is merely phase 1 of the project. We have learnt much from this activity, and learn how much it takes to help out just in distribution of food items to the poor and needy in one area. Moreover, we were encouraged and inspired by how much the needy needed our food items, and how much they required them.

Being much more inspired, we will boost our efforts in making this project a success and having a long term effect on the community and doing our best to help the needy.
Rock on Project Sunshine!

“A can of sardine is merely a can of sardine to you and me. But to the needy, it holds so much more meaning and value. What we are doing here is adding value to the food by giving the unwanted food to those who really NEED and CHERISH them. That’s what Food from the Heart is all about.” –Eon, Food from the Heart Programme Executive Outreach & Education.
