1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Scouting Movement and Voluntary Service Program

In Scouting, outdoor activities and volunteerism become the famous programmes

recognised by community. The programmes organised are well known for their benefits to

the young generations nowadays. As for example, the involvement of scouts during the flood

period in previous years proved that there was a big contribution by the members of the scout

movement in Malaysia. The scouts also are taught to be a good leader and a man, who can

comprehend the surrounding issues, manage and help to find the solution for the problems.

It just not for self-service but also able to contribute to the community in term of

development, environment, peace and volunteerism.

In fact, there is an international award for young people recognised by World

Organization of the Scout Movement namely as ‘Scout of the World Award’. It was

developed to give "young people more opportunities to face the challenges of the future" as

identified by the United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000.

The UN Millennium Declaration which was adopted by 189 United Nation member

States in September 2000, identifies three main challenges for the future of the world:

•Peace, security and disarmament

•Development and poverty eradication

•Protecting our common environment

1.2 The Scouts of the World Award Program

Scouts of the World Award (SWA)

The Scouts of the World Award was launched in order to encourage a stronger involvement

of Senior and Rover Scouts (aged 15-26) in the development of society by making them more

aware of the global issues concerning the world today.The Scouts of the World Award concerns

global citizenship preparation for young adults and emphasises the three core themes environment,

development and peace.

The Scouts of the World Award is operated by National Scout Organizations and is granted to

everyone (Scouts and non-Scouts) who has successfully accomplished a “Scouts of the World

Discovery” and a “Scouts of the World Voluntary Service”. The programme was developed

keeping in mind Scouting’s contribution to the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals

(MDGs) and will continue to contribute to the Post 2015 development agenda.

1.3 The Green Hyrogarden Project

The community development project namely Green Hydrogarden was conducted to meet

the requirement of the Scouts of the World Award Voluntary Service. This project was applying

the aquaponics system which combining hydroponic and aquaculture concepts. The idea was

introduced to help the community in Maahad Tahfiz Muhammadi untuk Anak Yatim dan Fakir

Miskin, Kuantan in reducing their kitchen’s cost in term of vegetable supply as well as to nurture

the gardening hobby among the orphans.

10

The aquaponics idea was selected as the system do not required a large space area and

manageable. Thus, it is quite suitable for the school as the aquaponics system can be managed by

the orphans and school community. Besides that, the project also was supervised by Agricultural

Department of Kuantan and financially aided by 1 Malaysian for Youth (1M4U) fund, Student

Development Department of IIUM Kuantan and other sources of income. The cooperation between

volunteers and school community showed a significant impacts in making the project successful

especially the infrastructure set up and facilities preparation. Active involvement of our team in

this project should be praised as project was recognized and the team was invited to a radio

interview session by 1M4U.fm.

1.4 The Project Site

MAAHAD TAHFIZ MUHAMMADI UNTUK ANAK YATIM DAN FAKIR MISKIN

(The School for Orphans and Poor)

Maahad Tahfiz Muhammmadi was founded in 2011 by a volunteer, Ustaz Tengku Mohamad

Tengku Jaafar, who was willingly to take care the orphans, homeless and children from poor family

as well as to build a school to teach and spread the Islamic teaching for local people. As voluntary

service to community, this school become his family charity service who are now willingly to take

care any of mentioned children under their supervision including meals and shelter for free. It is

all about the charity and community service toward the needy and homeless children.

This school is now managed by Ustaz Tengku Fathul Aziz Bin Tengku Abd Mutalib Al Hafiz

as the principal and helped by a few volunteering teachers who teach the religious matter,

discipline and others. It also supported by the local people and other Non-Government

Organization (NGO), who always run charity programmes as part of their contribution toward

community. However, the school itself is not much as other private and government schools which

equipped which latest equipment and technology. It just have a two storey-building, canteen and

other related equipment that need to be used in their daily teaching and learning routines. The two

storey building consist of children hostel, classroom and prayer area besides the teacher’s houses

11

nearby. In fact, last year, one whole building that become the children shelter was burned into

ashes due unexpected incident as well as affected by large flood two year ago.

Thus, this school still need some contribution and donation from community in term of

financial support and materials in order to ensure the school able to run and help the children in

need. To conclude, we thought this school was the best choice for our SWA project site as it was

the part of our contribution to that school community.

1.5 Project Mechanism (Aquaponic System)

A system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animal such as

fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in

a symbiotic environment.

In this system, water from an aquaculture tank consist of by-products from fish is fed into

the hydroponic system (the fish by-product taken as the nutrient for plants), and the water is then

recirculated back to the aquaculture system.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

To initiate a sustainable project which give the impacts and benefits to a community in

Maahad Tahfiz Muhammadi untuk Anak Yatim dan Fakir Miskin as well as community

nearby.

To expose the community the important of self-plantation using the simple system

which can be applied in limited area.

To complete the requirement of Scout of the Award programme.

for plant uptake. We believed the catfish is easy to grow

and the species known for their toughness and fast

adaptation to new environment. These facts also

supported by some experts who agreed with our

theories

31

-As most of our team members were quite new to the aquaponics system, we learned so much from the experts.

32

- They also informed on how to measure the water

quality in the tank. Based on their opinion, it is great if

we able to make collaboration with our university

faculty to use the laboratory facilities in order to check

the water quality specifically. By doing this, we able to

expand the networking and improve the project into

the new level.
