INTERPRETATION)
“Community development is spending your valuable time
with people who you would want to progress with and as a result, developing their skills as well as improving your relation and communication with them. This also increases a bonding relationship with others who would willingly do the same for those who are in need of assistance.” – (Duffel, 2019) The ComDev (community development) displays people who have shown compassion and comfort to others who are in a desperate plea from the dangers that life had shown them. With the help from these people who thrive for a better future for everyone, their mission is to revolutionize the old “out reach program” to a new program that improves the status of the people they are aiding. In amidst of all of this, the people -subjects of this community development- also get to discover fascinating things among the many basic subjects we students regularly study. It is a thing that most students take for granted and is greatly unappreciated. To that idea, this program called “community development” was created. It was once called an “outreach program” but people realized that it was more than that. Instead of just meeting them once and never coming to visit them again, they created a brand new plan that will ensure a brighter future for those who are less fortunate. They would regularly check up on them and their condition while ensuring that they would strive better for themselves on their own. It was like a mother bird taking care of her baby until he could fly on his own. For me, I have also experienced a similar feeling of wanting to help a person out while carving them out to be an exceptional person in the process. After this had become official and was changed to a better program, people have been launching these activities to spread a better environment and life for everyone. All help is appreciated and will be taken in consideration as it is well cherished in the community. This type of attitude is what is deeply needed in our current society. I wanted to spread this because as a Thomasian it is tied to our religion and our beliefs. We are Christians that are faithful to our religion and would do anything for it as long as it is good and in the name of the Lord our God. These acts of kindness to aid other people during our own journey reminds me of our saints that sacrificed themselves for the benefit of other people. They would assist those that are misguided and blinded by their sins. These saints will also willingly do these little things that would bring a small smile to someone’s face and unknowingly bringing a little grin to their faces as well. The act of abetting someone who truly appreciates that act of kindness- is just heartwarming. As Thomasians and loyal servants to the Christian community, we must do the same. We must be an example to others who are deluded and misfortunate so that they may be able to help one another as well. In doing so, I can’t help but see how community development runs deep within the foundation of our beliefs and our religion. I have joined and volunteered in many outreach programs but I have only participated in two community development programs. Among the experiences I’ve had in participating in outreach programs, I could say that I was left unsatisfied. Feeling that I had not done enough for the kids I was aiding in that program. So getting to experience one community development so far- was a change of pace and a galvanizing encounter. We (the group I was with during the time I participated in the community development project) had done more than I could ever with the past outreach programs meaning that this was more effective and efficient. I really do recommend this to everyone as this will leave you with a full heart knowing that you have just changed someone’s life by doing some simple things that most of us can but often refuse to do. It may be a long quest until you see the result but the progress and the journey matters as well. You see them grow and evolve into a better person compared to before, and to that I say that this is more fruitful as to the previous project. It is a more productive plan than got beneficial results for all. In the words of Lyzander Lecxon Palma -a student from the class of saint Barbara who had just recently experienced a community development program - “the old outreach program that we used to know has evolved into a better version of itself one that has started to build a nurtured and wholesome community”. Another student from the same class, Sarah Quinol added, “this program enhances the abilities and skills that you have already acquired in school”. Lastly an officer from the class of saint Barbara called Andrea Maglunob stated, “this creates better interactions and socializations between two parties as this also develops their moral values through those meetings”. I believe that this is the truth behind the “Community Development” and how much of an impact it makes on multiple people’s lives as soon as this had begun and been renewed. With all the effort and time we had allotted for this project- now, I want you to think about this: “is all of this worth it?”
