For the 7th week of the group project for National

Service Training Program, entitled “Urban
Vegetable Gardening and Cultivating Children’s
Reading Skills,” the group focused on the second
part of the project which is the cultivation of
children reading skills. But this time the members
tried to show how they should read first, instead
of letting them read by themselves.
The project executives chose a context that tackles the importance of being obedient. Which is
really relatable for the children as well as for the members.
They briefly explained the story and make sure that the children had a great understanding of
what they had read. Everyone had a great experience together with the children learning things
about obedience.
The execution of the group plan for the week

went well together with the great participation
of the children and their parents supporting
them as well as the members and the project.
Their kind words towards the members were
greatly appreciated.

We gathered early morning to prepare the items we'd need for today's event. The lads were given the
task of harvesting the petchay so that we could cook it.
The girls were given tasks such as cooking and
cleaning the site. We had a good time while eating
after all of our hard work. The students were overjoyed
because they were able to bond with one another
because they were all focused on reading throughout
our reading session.
Following our short boodle fight, we went to

see our vegetables and had a brief meeting. We
planned on putting up another plot or batch of petchay
after our initial attempt did not turn out as we had hoped.
This week has been the best week we've had since
we started this initiative. We were able to converse with the
children without thinking about reading or our schoolwork;
instead, we focused solely on that activity, and then we had
fun with the children

Despite the fact that we are working on our project proposal in the heat of the sun, we are continuing
to improve our project. We waited for our group before heading to our destination. And after we
were finished, we all went to our meeting site together.
We went to the kids as

owing to COVID's
unexpected rise. We read
"OBEDIENCE" to the
children since it was a
fantastic narrative in which everyone could learn a lot. We can tell they're paying attention because
they answered all of the questions that were posed to them.
Then we went back to our planted

vegetables and watered them so that
they would grow quickly. We already
planted the second batch of seedlings, as
scheduled the other week, with Leo's
assistance, as he is the one who is
facilitating the second batch.

On Friday, May 14, 2021, we followed our usual practice of waiting for the other group
member before starting the activity. Even though some of our group members were unable to attend
due to illness, we were still able to finish the exercise.
We continued with our typical activity by having the children read a tale and then asking
them questions about it. Of course, we checked our plants after that, and then we removed the grass
that surrounded them. Even though it was simply another day at work for our project, we all had a
great time interacting with the kids and bonding with one another.

We just kept going with this exercise, making sure the kids were okay and enjoying
themselves. Some of the members who live near the location where the plants are planted monitor it
after every Friday session. They gathered some okra and distributed it to the children. When the
members saw the kids enthusiastically receive it and were thrilled to offer it to their parents, they felt
fulfilled.
Because of the teamwork of each member, that week

went smoothly and all of the tasks were completed
effectively.

Even if the group were excited on finishing this activity they are also saddened by the fact that they
will not going to meet the kids every Friday and they will not hear every stories that they will going
to read. With that thought they still gave their best in making the kids understand every story that
they read. After the reading session they announced to the kids that the coming week will be the last
week in executing the project.
In the end they came up with the idea of having a small program for the kids to enjoy the remaining
moments with them and also to have a little bonding moment with the kids and also with each
member.

As a memory, the group had prepared a certificate of participation, an alcohol spray bottle,
disposable face masks, and film strip photos. They also bring their gathered crops as a show of
appreciation for the children's parents. This is to express our gratitude for their unwavering support
for the entire group.
They can tell that the youngsters were really thrilled after receiving the certificate and the token
because their joy was visible in their faces as they received it. Following the presentation, the group
had a modest celebration to commemorate their project's accomplishment. Everyone was ecstatic and
delighted at the same moment since, after months of hard effort, they had all completed it with a
smile.
