Angels at Work (Part 1 of 2)
Angels at Work
Apart from the leadership roles, I’ve been assigned to the Research and Presentation Team, along with Roger Lau in the project. My role was to lead the team in conducting field research on community service that we can perform as well as the charity organization that will benefit from it. After the research, I was to present the project proposal to all team members. Then I shall approach the lecturer, Miss Azlin Hj. Alwi and seek her consent and advice in executing the community service.
Roger Lau and I met up personally with the person in charge of the charity organization except for the Department of Environment, of which our lecturer has helped us with in corresponding with them. Amongst the charity organization that the Research and Presentation Team approached and community services that the team can perform were as detailed below:
I was in charge of transportation too as some of the team members are outstation students. We arrived at the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (Miri Chapter) headquarters at 8:00AM on the event day (Sunday, 17 April 2005). The actual event started in 9:00PM but I told the team to come an hour earlier so that we can do some research on the organization such as their history, mission, roles, services and others. The extra time was also used for brief interview session with some of the committee members.
While we were there, Mdm. Lui Yee Lan introduced us to some of the key committee members of the event and I introduced them to our team. Mr. Johnny Lawai was the Chairman, Mr. Vincent Sim was the Vice-Chairman as well as Mdm Tye Yuik Chun and Mdm. Norashikin Nordin being the committee members. We were told that we would assist them throughout the event. Mr. Vincent Sim, as our advisor for the day, and I discussed on the tasks to be done and then I informed the team.
For the purpose of the event itself, I divided the team into two separate teams of Operation Team and Administration Team. The roles of each team sections and members shall be discussed in the group report. Being the Team Leader of the event, I was to manage the team as a whole, synchronize the operation of the two teams and liaise with the organization committee members. Also, I was part of the Operation Team, along with Roger Lau, Alan Sia and Lee Chieng Tze. My roles in the Operation Team were to set up the stage for the competition, seating arrangement, crowd control and photography. Overall, all the tasks were relatively easy, except for the crowd control part. It appeared to be slightly difficult due to the fact that there were a lot of people in the competition hall – committee members, judges, reporters, contestants, students and other volunteers. Nonetheless, I managed to keep the crowd under control with help from other team members as well as the committee members.
At the end of the event at 4:00PM, we approached the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (Miri Chapter) committee members and expressed our gratitude for giving us a chance to participate in the Inter Unit First Aid Competition 2005. The committee members thanked us for the assistance rendered and look forward in seeing us again in participating in future events.
Before the team called it a day, I initiated a brief discussion on the event itself, tasks that each of us had done earlier and also delegating new tasks to each team members for proposal and discussion in the upcoming team meeting.
