Team Collaboration

Initially we are all coming from different classes. We not yet recognize each other especially the characters of our team. But along time goes by, we learn to understand each other and even near by, we get closer as a team or partner. We often have socialization, about the content of our web, ideas, and many more. Our team consists of six students, four boys and two girls. Each of them has a duty:

1. Suyudi : As he is expert on IT, he deals with the design of our web.

2. Novita : She is given the duty to conduct the observation to visit one of “Rumah Singgah” in Jakarta.

3. Alfan : He is given the duty to look for some articles and the pictures of the street children.

4. Arman : He is given the duty to look for and find some articles about the life of the street children.

5. Tandri : He is given the same duty as Novita. He conducts the observation to visit one of “Rumah Singgah” in Jakarta.

6. Bella : She is given the duty to look for some articles about recycling the paper trash.

During the preparation for this competition, some of us conduct the observation to visit “Rumah Singgah”. In the observation, we complete the project by interviewing some of the street children and their activity of making handicraft. We can also know that the street children can become an entrepreneur as long as they have the unshakeable confidence.

We conduct a meeting to accomplish the competition for about 20 meetings, which is from 13 March 2009 - 2 April 2009. Every meeting spends for about 2 hours, so all the duration is 40 hours to finish the competition.

Since the preparation for the competition, we always keep together to create the original and good web to awaken the society’s feeling to know about the life of the street children which is considered negative by them.
