D – Describe objectively what happened

We got together during the first week of sessions to work on the first CS project. We went to
Syukur Hati Home Pelangi. Even though it was only a brief icebreaker for both of us, the
kids' smiles on their faces seemed really delighted to have us join them for the entire two
hours. After two hours, when we initially ask them if they have any other questions and bid
them farewell before wrapping up the lesson, they appear reluctant and insist that they are not
fatigued as a group. It was late for them, and they needed to go to study, so I was unsure if I
should truly finish the session or continue to engage in small talk as an amateur emcee. The
initial meeting so comes to an end.

I – Interpret the events.

When there are people with them who are willing to interact with them, play with them, and
even show them some respect, they are content. Unlike most children from "regular" families,
they enjoy learning, spending time with others, and are not glued to their phones when they
are in elementary school. The orphanage's system, surroundings (how people act on screen),
and even culture are all excellent.

E – Evaluate what you have learned

This event is important to me not only for my community service, but it also has an impact on
my life and will encourage me to do more charitable work for those adorable children, among
other things. This acknowledges that while the kids experience childhood in a same manner
and follow the same schedule, becoming teenagers happens in very distinct ways. Despite
having fewer money and familial affection, one has a better heart. What makes me more
grateful is that I have the chance to learn all of these other facts from them.

P – Plan how this learning will be applied

When I am able to manage it, I think I will likely make frequent donations to the orphanage
and provide the kids with scholarships to enable them enjoy their lives without constantly
feeling down or dissatisfied.

D – Describe objectively what happened

We gathered to work on the first CS project during the second week of classes. Even teach
reading and writing to the orphanage kids. Kids looked genuinely glad to have us join them
for the full two hours, judging by the smiles on their cheeks.

I – Interpret the events.

We enjoy singing and dancing with them when there are other people around, and we can
even see a grin on their face. They enjoy studying, spending time with others, and are not
addicted to their phones while in primary school, unlike many kids from "normal"
households.

E – Evaluate what you have learned

This is significant to me not only in terms of my community service, but also because it
affects my life and will, among other things, inspire me to carry out more philanthropic
endeavours for those wonderful kids. I gather useful information from these to pass on to
children.

P – Plan how this learning will be applied

The time management is one of the things I should work on. Time is money, as the saying
goes. I shouldn't have taken so long to finish one task; it was time wasted. I could do more
and do more things in a short period of time if I had good time management.

D – Describe objectively what happened

On third week of CS Project we do Cleaning their orphanage and should be clean

and neat. Even we ask the kids to help with us to become more close with them and
let them know how important is cleaning.

I – Interpret the events.

however, they seem to like cleaning with us and even have a smile on their face. They
appreciate spending time with us and interacting more as we clean.

E – Evaluate what you have learned

This admits that while children experience and follow the same timetable during their
childhood, becoming teenagers occurs in very different ways. One has a better heart despite
having less money and family love. I'm even more appreciative that I've had the opportunity
to hear all of these other details from them.

P – Plan how this learning will be applied

The orphans are the ones who gain from the scheme. In addition to all the food and
equipment we provided for them, I believe that this effort helped the orphans become more
self-assured and enlightened, which made their lives simpler overall.
