THE DAY TO CELEBRATE HUMANITARIAN SPIRIT THROUGH VOLUNTEERISM

May 18, 2018 I need to be in school early. It is our scheduled strategic planning for our community extension services of the university. As appointed Coorindator of our department it is a requirement to attend.
I arrived at the venue at 7:50am and to my surprise I had seen my fellow steemian sir @morken because he is the newly appointed Coordinator of his department. Now this is getting more exciting, having to work with someone you are closely in contact due to our steeming :)
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Now going back....
The department that handles such activity is what we call as COMMUNITY AWARENESS, RELATIONS AND EXTENSION SERVICES, in short for CARES. The Director of the department is very active himself of assisting and overseeing the different programs spearheaded by the different department's identified COORDINATOR of the university.
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
How to be a coordinator?
- The Dean/Principal of the department will appoint a teacher to the CARES Director. However the teacher will be asked if he/she is willing to take the post. A check on the teachers dedication and volunteerism to spearhead the departments program is a must.
- The appointment will then be submitted to higher administration for approval.
- Upon approval you will be given the appointment certificate that would state the effectivity of your 1 year coordinator ship.
This year however, they change the length of the appointment. From the usual 1 year they extend it to 2 years for sustainability of the program. This would mean the coordinator will now have enough time to further stabilize and strengthen the program of their department.
I am not new to being a CARES coordinator. I was once the coordinator of a certain college for two (2) years and then with Senior High School this is my 2nd year already. That would mean I will be extending for another year due to the new policy of the 2 years length.
My being a Coordinator was my passion ever since. I had been doing volunteer work way before I get to become a Coordinator. It's always been part of me to do community service, to reach out and help out whatever way I can to our brothers and sisters in the community. Please don't get me wrong of boasting out what I have done but I just want to share to everyone that volunteerism and helping in the community is a very fulfilling thing to do.

Going back again....
The Programs I was referring to above are :
- Livelihood Program of the College of Hospitality Management
- Greening Program of the College of Customs Administration
- Computer Tutorials of the College of Computer Studies
- Solid Waste Management of the College of Maritime Education
- Playgroup Tutorials of the College of Teacher Education
- Ecobrick Program of the Senior High School Department
…this is just to name a few of all the other programs of the other colleges.
Thus, all the Coordinators of the different colleges and department was required to attend the STRATEGIC PLANNING : EVALUATION AND CREATION OF THE ANNUAL PLAN. Which was held at the universities mini restaurant that lasted 7 hours.
The activity of the day...

My SWOT Analysis

My forms to be evaluated from the previous year...
=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
My on-going edit of the new annual plan...
- go join the coastal clean-up drive
- join in the festivities of the barangay for a show to showcase different talents
- do research work to determine problems which could lead to a new program
- gift giving activity
- feeding program
- making eco-bricks
- building furnitures and fixtures at the barangay hall, day care center through the use of eco-bricks
.....and so much more. Through this the student volunteer would be able to grow his passion to help others and be a humanitarian warrior. Student would also learn patience, team work, communication skills, dedication, love of others and discover more of themselves. They will develop self confidence and self worth.

Volunteerism teaches a person a whole lot of things about life that sometimes could not be personified inside the classroom. - @mcamayra

That is awesome what you are trying to do. I saw that @morken had commented on a post of ours and we would love to hear more.

Hi @marevickinvictus! Yeah, I remembered commenting about the discord channel redirecting. I’ll compose my thoughts about the article. By the way, thanks for mentioning me here. 😊
No problem man and we are interested in helping people get some exposure and maybe some funds for their projects.
We can do so much with Steem.
Yey! It’s also really good to work with a person who has contributed a lot to my alma mater and a person who have been contributing quality contents here in steemit! Lovelots ms!
