RE: Community Service- Three Days Before Deployment

in #life7 years ago

I wish you well in your journey and experiences on this community service trip. What will you be doing there? Are you part of an outreach program? How long do you stay in one area? Sorry for all the questions but I find what you're doing very interesting and think it is awesome that you are willing to do it! :)

But to summarize that long post, my tasks will be

Students are expected to create projects depending on the theme and the location. For instance, I got a project under " Technology" and I will be deployed in a coastal area with agriculture being its strong commodity.

The unit consist of 29 students, who will be working on mini project relating to the theme and using our own field of expertise. As I come from literature and language major, one of my mini project is a seminar on fake news and ways to tackle misinformation. Another one is helping local government with data visualization as in village information, board signs and media related activities. Then, some students from agriculture will help local farmers in using agriculture softwares, others from engineering will help in creating website and processing the database. Last but not least, medicine students will conduct seminars about HIV/AIDS, environment and health issues.

Thank you for the link, I unfortunately missed seeing that post in my feed and it is the type of personal story I really enjoy reading about.
I think what you are doing is great! It is even more impressive knowing how hard it is for you to do from reading some of your past posts. I hope everything goes well and you really enjoy your time there! :)
