Kampot Khmer Global Concern Sixth Reflection

Over the last 2 months, I have been participating in the GC as a transitionary chair there to assist the future leadership of the GC. At the beginning of the year, I helped new members of the GC familiarise themselves with the mission and vision of our GC and CLS. In the following sessions, I took feedback from them on how to improve as a group both within and outside our GC time. Then on, I began the leadership application process whereby I selected the new leadership team of the GC for this year with the help of both the teacher facilitators. This involved asking them to submit a short written application in the first stage. We then selected the candidates we wanted to interview.

During the interview we asked them to talk about everything, ranging from their past experiences to their strengths and weaknesses. After that, I met up with the teacher facilitators and we decided on the candidates we wished to go ahead with. On the other hand, the GC sessions went on as usual and we came up with a set of questions we wanted to ask our NGO partner during our first call. We also came up with a set of personal goals for this year. All in all, it has been a very productive half term.

A list of goals that we came up with during one of our sessions:

Kampot Khmer Global Concern Third Reflection

The sessions before the break passed quite well for the GC. We have started to prepare for the launch of our Talent show: The Kampot Talent Quest. A few weeks back, we started to communicate with the service department regarding the quest. Through this collaboration we were able to devise our action plan for the talent show, and ensure that everything was in keeping with the rules and regulations of Singapore. This will ensure that CLS will be able to benefit from this fundraiser. Collaboration with the service department and the other members of the GC in the last few days, will ensure that my actions as a part of the GC have a positive impact on the community in CLS.

As a result of my participation in this process (and the activity overall), I have begun to understand the complexity of the issue that the community at CLS currently faces: the issue of receiving funds. All this while, I had been under the impression that the funds we sent to CLS were not under a lot of rules and regulations. Being a part of the team that ensures all rules and regulations are met has made me realise that sometimes it is very difficult to transfer funds. This realisation has led me to the understand that sometimes CLS is unable to receive funds due to the sender being unable to upkeep all rules. In a way, I have become more understanding of the issues than I was before.

Here is one of the posters we created for the Talent quest:

Culturama Last Reflection

The video above is taken from one of the tech runs of our Culturama dance. In the final stages of our performance, I collaborated with the Culturama committee, lighting department, teachers along with other dancers and our dance leaders. An issue that caused difficulty while working together was the placement of people on stage while socially distancing. As we had to do this all the time, it became quite hard to perform the choreography and switch formations without breaking socially distancing. Social distancing was the challenge that we faced and I think that it was quite difficult to overcome this challenge but we did do so. Collaborating here was especially important to ensure that the event went well and no rules were broken. In the future, to become a better team player I would have to be more aware of what is happening around me and try to be more adaptive to new situations (such as the one we were faced with now).

Culturama First Reflection

pandi93424@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg #

The first few sessions of Culturama went quite well as I got to work with many people and I also learnt some new choreography. During this activity, I collaborated with my dance leaders to ensure that their version of the dance could be achieved. I also collaborated with other dancers while working on formations, rehearsing the choreography and matching the timing. I think that it was very easy to work together in this project because there were set right and wrongs because the choreography was set, there was no room for interpretation, which meant that no one had differing ideas which could lead to conflict potentially. A challenge that we did face while working together was socially distancing. Sometimes, this was hard to do while switching formations and while rehearsing together. We overcame these challenges by going through the switches slowly to see if we could do them without breaking social distancing rules, if we couldn’t, we changed the switch.

While rehearsing, we overcame this challenge by being conscious of these rules always. I think that in this way, we could overcome all our challenges. Collaboration was especially important to achieve this goal because the dance could not have been executed without collaborating with each other. To become a better team player in the future, I think that I could improve my listening and awareness of my surroundings.
