Our service has been faced with challenges from the start due to our inability to meet the members of the centre face-to-face. We continue to film pre-recorded videos, and have been branching out to new ideas, such as interviews and fable reciting, with aim of keeping our partners entertained and interested in what we are doing. It’s definitely been a challenge to stay motivated, especially due to the lack of feedback that we were receiving from the centre for a while. However, I definitely think that our team work and collaboration skills have improved, and that our persistence has helped us throughout the experience. As a group, we’ve been able to keep each other motivating and always work our hardest to create videos that would be enjoyable to watch and that are suitable for the audience intended. We continue taking on different roles, as we have to plan, film, and edit the videos as a team.

Fitness with Simei Centre- Dec 2020
It’s been a few months of service and we’ve already managed to create two videos for the centre! It’s a fun process and I find it nice to see the whole group working together to reach a common goal. I’ve also managed to learn a few things myself, such as how to make origami and I’ve also learnt how to edit videos in order to make them more enjoyable to watch. My partner, Jimin and I, were in charge of organising the first video as we had to decide what kind of video it would be, as well as teach the rest of the group 3 different types of origami, and eventually having to edit the video by the end of the week in order to have it sent out by then. I’m very proud of the video that we sent out as I put in a lot of work in the editing, and I’m looking forward to receiving feedback from the centre. After making this first video, I learnt that communication with my partner is key as we need to make sure that we are on the same page, and it is also very important to be organised as we only have a limited amount of time to complete the videos.

LO3. An experience that you will initiate and plan
LO7. An experience that will involve consideration of ethical implications
LO7. During our second session of service, we completed a total of 4 topics aimed for volunteers who will be working with people who have disabilities. Here, we learnt about the different types of disabilities, the barriers faced by those with disabilities, and the “Do’s and Don’ts” for when interacting with them. I found this e-learning very useful, as I had never been educated on this specific topic, therefore never knew much of it. I will definitely keep everything that I have learnt into consideration when we get to start interacting with them online, which I am very excited about!
LO3. Each video call and prerecorded video will be planned a week in advance by the students in the service. This is done in groups of 2 that will be rotating each week. When planning the sessions with my partner, I will need to keep into consideration what will be suitable or not for the people we are working with. I would also need to make sure that we get everything planned on time, which would be a week prior, in order to avoid any confusion. I will try my best to plan enjoyable sessions for both us and the people we will be meeting, as it would be great of everyone could have a great time.
