Kampung Kids

What have I learned?

I learnt how to organize lessons, which appeal to a younger audience, and how to handle younger children. I have also had the chance to interact with children from the local Indonesian community.

What skills have I used?

I have used my Indonesian language, teaching and creativity skills.

What's been difficult?

It was difficult to create a lesson, where the children would not get bored. When they were not interested, they had difficulties concentrating, and would take frequent trips to the restroom in groups.  It was also challenging to work with other Kampung Kids members

How have you worked with others?

I have worked together with Ms. Ani, who gave me feedback for my lessons,

What have I enjoyed?

I enjoyed seeing the children smile, when they were having fun, or when I drew them something they asked me to. It was a pleasant experience to teach these children, who became very attached after a few weeks. Even though I quit Kampung Kids, they often see me at the end of the school day, and tried to convince me to start teaching them again.

What else do I want to do?

I enjoyed teaching children English and Computer skills, and would definitely continue participating in community service activities
