Final Proposal- Josephite Community Aid group
What needs does our organisation have? Try and prioritise those needs that are most
urgent and which you could most effectively address in your service
week.
1. Volunteers who are willing to give up their time to help and
welcome the refugees
2. Volunteers to help with programs
3. To organise community events
4. Teaching the refugees English (reading and writing as well as
speaking.)
5. To organise community events
6. Donations and Pick up
7. To fund raise
8. People to help with the Christmas hampers
9. General Admin (Including Newsletter)
10. Website Maintenance and Photo library and archives
Why do these needs exist?
-Refugees need help to integrate into society
In our society today, many issues within individual countries are present. Whether
the factors environmental, political and religious, some people’s only way of
escaping this threat is via refugee. This may not necessarily be legal, but the
circumstances are desperate. If fortunate enough to successfully find another
country, they are placed in refugee camps or detention centers, for periods of
time varying from days to years
What do we need to know about the lives of those we will be working with?
-We need to know where they are from and their ‘story’ so that no offense is taken or any misunderstandings
- What type of ordeals they have experienced or are currently experiencing
- Have an idea of their cultural background
-How they settled in
-Why have they moved
-Why are they living in their current location?
-When they first immigrated to Australia
-What cultures
-What type of profession/work do they do?
4. What are the short term and long term effects of these needs if they are not met?
If the refugees don't learn independence and self-efficiency, then they will
become too dependent on this foundation and not take opportunities to lead their
individuals lives’.
In short term there will be less people for them to serve and assist so the
association would be small and no one would know about it therefore a lot of
people will not receive the help that they need. The organisation would not run
smoothly and it would be difficult for them to find volunteers without things
like; advertising, websites and newsletters.
Mini Proposal:
I have many project goals, which include helping them to become more stable in
their lives, give them more knowledge about their living environment and create
a fun and memorable experience on our weekend away. I am also aiming to benefit
from the weekend by developing a shared appreciation of different cultures and
values and increase my social awareness of refugee struggle. Having more
awareness is important especially when there is currently so much about ‘boat
people’ in the media, about how they travel, why they leave, how they get here,
how Australia processes them when they arrive and their living standards whilst
they are waiting for legal status. So basically my project goal is to assist in
developing a better lifestyle for these refugees and help them have fun and
forget about the other hard things going on in their lives.

Background of the Josephites organisation:
Jess & Molly
Background
JCA
was started in 1986 by a dynamic Josephite sister, Maria Sullivan, who appealed
to friends for support, then went out and gathered a group of committed young
volunteers to help her carry out her vision of friendship with people who were
isolated by poverty. Being a volunteer run organisation, JCA is an invitation to
young people to really live out a selfless commitment to people who are poor and
marginalised.
JCA
provides practical help to people who are struggling to help themselves. They
aim to empower those in unfortunate circumstance to become self supporting in
their own lives. They bring together the exceptional talents and gifts of young
people to meet the needs of those living in poverty with real assistance and
genuine giving. Not only does this connection give life to the people that JCA
helps but it offers an outstanding opportunity for growth and leadership to the
young people involved.
JCA
is independent and, therefore, relies totally on volunteers and the extremely
generous support of friends and benefactors who give so willingly to their work.
Who
do they help?
Many
people in Sydney live with significant financial poverty. They seek out these
people and try to help them in any way they can. This means helping them to help
themselves, remaining supportive of those who are at the lower end of the social
or economic bracket, and always offering friendship and care.
Amongst
the many people that JCA works with, most are refugees. Many people come to
Australia because they are insufferably persecuted in their own countries. With
their families, they come to our country to start a new life. When they first
arrive, they have many difficulties to face: often they can’t speak English,
they have little or no money, they have no friends, they don’t know the
Australian systems and they feel isolated and lost.
JCA
visits these families, helps them to contact other people from the same
community and assists in practical ways such as helping with English or with
clothes or furniture. Above all, they offer friendship to people who feel very
alone when they first arrive.
Many
refugees and asylum seekers, as well as people with mental disabilities have
come to know JCA through very simple things like a visit to their home, helping
to cook a meal or being part of a weekend away. Experiences like these lift the
spirits of new arrivals and lonely people who find comfort in the welcome,
friendship and hospitality that is JCA.
Some
of the projects they provide include:
Overview
of the needs: Nivetha,
Brinda and Lexie
In
order to help the refugees involved with the Josephite organisation, we need to
assist the organisation and cater to their needs so that our project runs
smoothly. Our major focus is welcoming and helping the refugees to settle in
Australia, as well as showing them kindness during the weekend away. Leading up
to that there are other needs we must meet. Throughout our service learning
project we plan to volunteer and help with the programs, help with the Christmas
hampers, women’s group and lend a hand to help the centre itself. To help and
welcome the refugees we need to gain a general knowledge of where they come from
and there background, the refugees need someone to relate to them and befriend
them so that they begin to feel comfortable in this new environment. Another way
of serving the refuges is assisting the organisation and getting involved with
the Women’s group, throughout the women’s group we will be supportive towards
the woman and let them know that we are there to help and comfort them. Overall
we aim to cater for the comfort and well-being of the refugees that we will
encounter and hope to learn new skills and develop our knowledge of the plight
of people outside of Australia.
Our
main focus will be to integrate the refugees into the Australian culture,
offering our welcoming and genuine nature. In order to gain this trust, we will
gain a background understanding of the issues faced by the refugees, to
ensure there is no unintentional offense taken.
Our vision: Kelly and Kathy
Whilst
working with the Josephite Community we strive to not only be their friends but
also help them form bonds with Australian society and develop a solid
foundation for their new life.
The
project:
All
of Group
This
will be achieved by attending a weekend away as volunteers with a group of
Refugees associated with the Josephite Community Aid. The weekend enables the
families to integrate with Australians and also allows timeout for the parents.
This weekend is usually the only vacation that the families receive,
highlighting its importance .
In
addition to this, we will be attending a ‘Women’s group’ where we will be
serving morning tea and playing with the children - communicating in
conversation to improve their English skills. During the service learning
week we may also be assembling and distributing christmas hampers
Kelly:
To strengthen the relationships and understanding between refugees and
Australian citizens and increase appreciation of different cultures
Shehani:
To develop strong connections and friendships with the refugees and offer
support to these people as they adapt to the Australian society.
Bella:
To understand more of the refugee situation globally as well as enrich the lives
of those who have come to Australia.
Nivi:
To develop a greater understanding of people who undergo such harsh
circumstances in other nations, and be able to widen my perspective of the world
in which we live in.
Lexie:
To
burst the bubble that we live in within Pymble Ladies College and the North
Shore and interact with the wider community, gaining an understanding,
developing empathy for those less fortunate as ourselves’ and hopefully able to
help in anyway.
Brinda:
To gain a further understanding of the lives of refugees and learn how to
communicate and help them settle in Australia,and find comfort in their new
home
Lynelle:
To
become more aware of the struggles and difficulties that the refugees experience
and find ways that I can help them find their place in Australian society.
Nuts
and Bolts: what will you need to undertake your project?
-
Shehani
Through
undertaking this community service task and to effectively produce the best
outcome for those we are helping, as well as for ourselves, we must take
multiple factors into consideration. Our project focuses on Josephite Community
aid, and offering a support networks for new families migrating to Australia.
The ‘Nuts and Bolt’s’ of the project itself encompasses the requirements listed
including transport, safety, budgetary and many more. Firstly, for transport we
must organise a bus which will take us to and from the retreat. The safety of
the refugees as well as us girls must also be carefully looked at. Medical/
dietary requirements are all incorporated into the risk assessment which will be
done by Mrs Hibburt. In terms of the budget, we all paid a set amount of money
to participate in this project which we will group together and sort out
according to materials for activities, food supplies etc. The actual resources
we will need depend on the activities we provide such as cooking supplies for
baking.
However
before these are even taken into this consideration, we also must consider why
we chose to do this project, what we can offer to the refugee community and
develop a greater understanding of refugees in general. From what we have
gathered from our discussion with Adrian we have developed an understanding of
the demographics within the area, as Blacktown has the highest proportion of the
African community within Sydney. Furthermore to undertake this project, we must
also have a sense of cultural sensitivity and openness to the perspectives of
others. By undertaking this project, we hope to break social barriers within our
community and create lasting friendships. Through partaking in this project we
must also consider the activities and fun-filled experiences we can offer to
these refugees. We have brainstormed multiple ideas such as creating hampers,
participating in women’s groups and baking. In terms of our actual weekend away,
the Josephites (our group name) will have a weekend retreat where we are able to
engage with the refugees as well as display our hard-working ethics.
Overall,
this experience will be eye-opening for all of us and have a profound impact on
our life. So far entire Josephite group has worked harmoniously together,
and there is no doubt in my mind that our community service project will be
anything but extraordinary.
Time
frame requirements: Bella
Our
camp is going to occur on the 2nd-3rd of November. During the four days
allocated for Service learning we hope to visit the womens group and compile and
deliver Christmas hampers for the Josephites organisation.
Resource/material
requirements:
Weekend
- Play doh; bubbles; face paint;
Visit
to Womens Group - morning tea, activities
Christmas
Hampers- foods that won't go off too quickly
Transport
requirements:
Lexie
The
vehicle of transportation for our camp will be a bus. We believe that this is
the most appropriate selection as it ensures our group to be in the same
vehicle, avoiding any individuals late or lost on the journey. The total cost is
$480 and, $40 per person, including teachers. This caters for the vehicle usage
and petrol needs. The bus will be required on Thursday, ( 14th November)
Saturday and Sunday (2nd & 3rd November), for the majority of the day. This
has all been booked via property.
Budgetary
requirements:
Kathleen
This
is yet to be determined, as it depends on the costs associated with our camp.
Safety
requirements:
Bella
During
our weekend away, there are many precautions that we have to take to ensure we
are safe. We have to make sure we bring a first aid kit in case of any injuries
that may occur and our mentor Mrs Hibburt has first aid training. In case we are
split from the group at any point in time, or if we travel in separate buses, we
will all have Mrs Hibburt’s phone number and contact with each other. Before we
go it is important that we inquire whether anyone in our group has dietary or
medical requirements. We have to always be mindful of our own behaviour, our
noise level and our attitudes towards our work. In addition to all of this, a
risk assessment must be completed and submitted by our teachers prior to our
departure.
Community
connections:
JCA
plays a major role in facilitating this process and allowing families to
establish a life within Australia. JCA began in 1986 and helps many families
within the western Sydney region, from Auburn to St Mary’s. The largest African
American community exists in Blacktown itself, with a high proportion of
refugees coming from Sudan.
Evaluating
our progress: Bella and Lexie
Our group has created numerous ways to continuously update our progress for the
Josephites 2013.
To ensure the best possible communication and cooperation within our group, we have
had a number of shared google docs, various group emails, our website and also
our facebook group. We plan to create a group scrapbook, documenting the
preparation for the trip, during our trip and reflecting upon it, with the
inclusion of a “I
used to think, now I think”
section. With the creation of this we can see how our perspectives’ have changed
over time as well as a checklist of our goals and space for a reflection on
each. In conjunction with this, we plan to make an iMovie while on our trip, to
visually represent what was accomplished and the memories that were made. We
believe that through these medians, we will fully capture what our aim is for
this trip and how we succeeded them. Through their diversity, both the
entertainment and informative aspect will be reached, and provide a long lasting
memory of our time helping those less fortunate this us.

The Risk Assessment
How likely is the risk to occur?
How can you minimise the risk?
Travelling
When leaving the school to the camp or departing the camp there may be a mix up which
leads to people being left behind.
To minimise this risk we can keep a headcount or ‘number off’, whenever we need to
go to another place.
Actvities
We would be participating in a number of activities such as; play-doh, bubble
blowing and other games. A risk that we may encounter would be if a child or
even one of the member s of the Josephite Service Learning would ingest the
play-doh or bubble mixture,
on campus.

How likely is the risk to occur?
How can you minimise the risk?
Travelling
When leaving the school to the camp or departing the camp there may be a mix up which
leads to people being left behind.
To minimise this risk we can keep a headcount or ‘number off’, whenever we need to
go to another place.

Always supervise the children and help them with the activities. Teachers would always
be supervising in addition to this.
