PROJECT DETAILS

In this project, we are to work together as a team for architectural, culture, and environmental enhancing activities in the communities of different socio-economic status and social groups. The series of community services are offered under four (4) categories/themes and as a group, we are to choose and to execute the project in the best possible manner. My group have chosen Theme 2 which is the Self-Sustaining Community and the community chosen was the Old Folks Home. One of the reasons why we choose this theme is because this project will help us realize the social problems and the welfare of those people who are less fortunate than us. Also, we will be able to help them by providing a better space for their living. This will also be a great way to strengthen the bond between our communities. Not only that, most elderly at the old folks home tend to be lonely as they were sent there away from their family and closed one. We also want the elderly community to feel more appreciated by having younger generations like us to help and entertain them as well as to make them feel happy. My group for this project consist of Ghaida Rashad, Shery Edrina and Tasya.
