PROJECT 1: MY COMMUNITY MY COMMITMENT
In this project, students are required to identify an environmental-community related issue in their local community. The issues have to be genuine and any solution provided by their team must have an impact to the environment and community. Students will need to visit their project site more than once to collect a variety of observation before making suggestions or proposals, including what is the main environmental-community related issue, who are affected, any particular organization directly related to the issue, what the people or community needs and etc. All the information is later documented into 2 A3 research poster of the project and also a multimedia presentation of the entire project from proposal to completion.

REFLECTION:
Throughout this assignment, we have learnt how to beautify environment and help people that are in need. We went to the orphanage, Sivananda Home, to analyse and learn about the environment setting to come out with concepts that would complement and suit the setting of the house and its surrounding. We have constructed a gardening structure using bamboos and concrete cubes. The purpose of the structure is to help the occupants of Sivananda Home to have an easier way to plant their vegetation. We also understand the children's lifestyle, feelings, their daily bases and the condition of their home. We are now more appreciative of what we have and towards nature as the kids in Sivananda Home depends on their garden for vegetables.
