Celebrating World Teachers' Day

Hi there,
Its me again, Jacky.
Today I want to share to all of you the latest event that I have worked on lately which also organized by me personally. I am happy to have the privilege of executing this event with the foster children under Interhill Group's care. This event is joined by ten children from Kampung Wireless and three mentors from The After School Project. The children did arts and crafts such as drawing, coloring cut-out cartoon characters and writing a message showing their gratitude for the teacher. 

According to UNESCO, It is perceived that educators are not just a way to executing instruction objectives; they are the way to maintainability and national limit in accomplishing learning and making social orders taking into account information, qualities and morals. On the other hand, they keep on confronting difficulties achieved by staff deficiencies, poor preparing and low status. 

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics calculated that in order reach the goal of universal primary education by 2020 recruitment of a total of 12.6 million primary teachers is needed. World Teachers’ Day falls on the October 5 highlights the fact that teachers must be empowered as a critical step towards quality education and sustainable societies. Interhill’s motto is “Committed to the people” and their education initiative is align with the concept of the world teachers’ day, I took the chance and organized an event with the After School Project to educate the younger generation to be grateful towards their teacher. 

Before putting this event in word as proposal, I had to pitch to my supervisor whom very supportive of me. As soon she approved it, I wrote the proposal for her to send it to the director and after that I developed a list of itinerary for myself in order not to miss out on any details and arrangement. Below will be the checklist that I have developed.
  • -       Confirm date, time and availability of the children with En. Juih (Kampung Wireless caretaker/guardian)
  • -       Process estimated budget for activity and submit to Ms. Agnes
  • -       Draft a pre-media release
  • -       Arrange for food and beverage for the children, mentors and guardians during the event
  • -    Buying necessary items for the event (gifts, colour paper, glue sticks, scissors and colour pencils)


On the day of the event, everything went smoothly as expected. As an intern being quick-witted is needed when we are deal with events. At first we were expecting the arrivals of 15 children, but there are complication between the children and the caretaker. In the end, we are able to accommodate with the amount of ten children and we proceed with the event. From this lesson, I was able to learn to adapt and think fast accordingly.
