Jonathan Reflections - 2

Something unexpected happened last Friday. According to our lesson plan, we were supposed to create lyrics with the children at Beyond Social Services. However, upon arriving, the lady in charge, Miss Raja, told us to come up with a performance on that very day. The Alpha society had raised $71000 for Beyond Social Services through their Gobi desert hike. She wanted the kids to perform for the Alpha society when they came to give them the raised funds. Therefore, we had to come up with the beats, tune and modify the song lyrics in less than two hours. Though most of us thought it was almost impossible, we took this as a challenge and try to do as much as we possibly could. We immediately brain stormed with the children on what nursery or song tunes they could use for the lyrics which were provided by Miss Raja. Then, we had to modify the lyrics to suit the tune and beats. The children were split into two groups, one in charge of creating the tune, the other, in charge of playing the beats. Despite all odds, together with the children, we managed to come up with a short performance! The whole group was really surprised and elated about the result. When we started on our project, we were worried whether we could achieve our target and come up with a performance by the end of LDP. This session has surely proven to us that our project is in fact doable and nothing is impossible.
