Site Visit: Al-Ansaar Learning Centre and United Learning Centre (12/4)

On Tuesday (12/4), Lau Li Yang (Organising Chairperson) and Khadijah Maarof (Head of Activities) went to visit the location for our social engagement project. As planned, the project will be held in two locations; United Learning Centre on Friday and Al-Ansaar Learning Centre on Saturday and Sunday. The reason for this site-survey is so that we can have a better idea about the location's environment and to evaluate whether the planned activities can appropriately and suitably conducted in both target location.

Al-Ansaar Learning Centre is a non-profit community school run by dedicated volunteers for refugee children in Malaysia aged from 3-13 years. Classes in this centre is conducted every Saturdays and Sundays. They are usually around 11 students on Saturday and 18 pupils on Sunday. Though the facilities provided in this school are far behind from the formal schools in Malaysia, the sincerity and dedication of teachers and volunteers could always help to lighten the children's future.

A similar case can be found in United Learning Centre. Located in the heart of the city, the centre is also providing education for refugees with the help of dedicated volunteers. The number of students in this centre are much larger compared to the Al-Ansaar.

On top of the site visit, we have arranged a meeting with Teacher Salina on Wednesday (13/4) to discuss more on the planned activities, materials needed, preparation as well as expectations from both side. We hope, our project will run smoothly as planned, and we can engage the community and impact them positively.
