Introduction
A. Background
Community organizing is a developmental approach that teaches the
community to apply to assess, to diagnose, to plan, and to evaluate its own.
Helping them utilize their available resources, thereby allowing the community
to be an active participant in the process of development (Famorca, 2013).
The community health nurse aims to empower the community by mobilizing
them to participate in identifying and resolving its own problem, to improve the
communities quality of living by uplifting their critical awareness about
hazards and
diseases that may rise in the community considering
geographical and familial factors etc., and to make the community self reliant
a partner of health care professionals in preventing disease, promoting health
and ultimately prolonging the life of its people.

C. Scope and Limitation
The scope of our study is to survey the families in florida blanca
community from arka pol using community survey form which will include
primary data about the families and questions that are relevant to community
organizing. The surveyed family member should be of legal age and
Community Health Nursing- Related Learning Experience

knowledgeable about the history of family members. The information that will
be gained from the survey are then used by the researchers to formulate the
community diagnosis. Another scope of our research is to relay to the
community member, through community assembly, the diagnosis made by
the researcher about the result from the interpreted data from the surveys
also to collaborate with them the abouts of how and what the community can
solve the enumerated problems. Finally, the scope of our study is to mobilize
the people to work with the researchers in solving the said problems of the
community.
However due to language barrier the researchers were not able to
effectively communicate information with the community. Also the lack of time
in disseminating the said community organizing activity information in the
community resulted to fewer numbers of attendees in the said program.

Research Method
A. Action Research
As stated in the website ascd.org, the Institute for the Study of Inquiry in
Education had briefly defined Action Research as a disciplined process of
inquiry conducted by and for those taking the action. Stating also that its
primary reason for engaging in such research is to assist the Actor in
improving and/or refining his or her actions. It involves seven (7) phases
namely, selecting a focus, clarifying theories, identifying research questions,
collecting data, analyzing data, reporting results, and taking informed action.
In the context of health care, it is referred to as Participatory Action
Research and sagepub.com defined it as an approach commonly used for
improving conditions and practices in a range healthcare environments. The
roles performed by healthcare practitioners in the said research are
conducting systematic inquires in order to facilitate improvement in their own
practices which then results to the enhancement of their working environment
and as well those who are part of it.
B. Population
The study consists of participants coming from Sitio Arcapol, Barangay
Cabangcalan, Floridablanca, Pampanga. There were 155 males and 144
females in the said community. Majority of the population was from the age
group of 10-14 years old. The oldest respondent involved in the study is from
the age group of 80-84 years old. 50.71% of he participants were married.
The educational attainment of most participants was elementary level.
C. Instruments
The researchers used a community survey form which requires the
participants demographic and socio-economic profile, health profile, and
environmental profile. During the home visit, the researchers also used
weighing scale to complete the health profile of the participants. In the
implementation of the program, the researchers provided pre and post tests
to the participants which verify whether the participants had learned from the
researchers.
D. Data Collection
Data collection was conducted through house to house survey. Each
researcher has families to interview and must accomplish the survey form for
each family. After gathering the data, the researchers had a group discussion
and compiled their data for planning of programs.
E. Ethical Considerations
The researchers made sure that participation in this research were
voluntary and that no deception was used to the participants. Before
conducting the survey to each family, the head of the family was asked their
consent and through this also, the main purpose of the research was also

stated in a manner that it will be easily understood by the participants. The

researchers gave the participants an assurance that all the information
collected from them shall always be kept confidential and used solely for
planning a program to be implemented in their community. The researchers
also maintained sensitivity to cultural and social differences by being
respectful to the family and communitys norms. The researchers also made
sure that no harms such as physically and emotionally were afflicted to the
participants.

has a higher man power for the development of the community.
Furthermore, with lesser female in the in the community the population will
not expand abruptly.
3.2 Age Distribution
Analysis: Based on the age distribution graph, 10-14 years old
constitute to the highest number of individuals and ages 55-84 contribute
to the lowest number of individuals in the barangay. This shows that

community are aged 5 to 10 years old while the majority of the female
members of the community are aged between 0 to 4 and 10 to 14 years
old. This implies that there is a larger number of dependent members in
the community. The oldest male members are aged between 75 to 79
years old while the oldest female member is aged 80 84 years old. It is
evident in the pyramid that there are more female members in the
community compared to male members. Because of this, there is a bigger
chance of population growth because there are a lot of female members
that can bear children.

1.1
Analysis: As you can see in the table, the people living in the
community have a variety of educational attainment. Most of the people in
the community are in the Elementary Level (30.64%). The implications to
health are that they are able to comply with health education given and
they are aware of health hazards as most of the community are with
formal education. For education, having much elementary level in the
population indicates that the population cannot grasp complex health
educations and are not aware of any professional treatments if illness
comes. Furthermore, regarding livelihood, as most of population only had
formal education below high school level; the jobs they can only take are
only non-professional jobs like farming, driving and selling. And for the
physical environment, if the superior class when it comes to educational
12

attainment is elementary level, this may show that their environment is

maintained because they are mostly in their houses or their job is just
nearby.

Analysis: The table shows that the dominant religion in the

community is Roman Catholic (81.82%). The religion least practiced in the
community is Jehovahs Witness (0.91%). The community is composed of
people practicing different religion. With this in mind, the implication to
health is that with different religions come beliefs that can affect their
practice of health promotion and treatment. For education, there may be
teachings that are against their beliefs and practices and they may not
abide to it. Moreover, as most of the community has a religion, the
implication for spiritual is that the people in the community are religious
and are aware of the presence of God.

Analysis: As the table implies, most of the adults from the community are
originally from Region 3 (Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga,
Tarlac, and Zambales). For the health, the populations health practices and
beliefs are somewhat identical since most of them came from the same region.
For education, there is less difficulty in teaching them for there is minimal
language and practice barrier. In terms of livelihood, since region 3 geographical
area is mostly composed of mountains and fields, farming is mostly practiced.
For physical environment, the community has minimal or no existing problems
when it comes to adaptation and in the maintenance of their barangay.

Analysis: From the table, most of the families in the community are
living in that community for 5-10 years (24.55%), the second is 1-4 years
(23.64%). In terms of health, if most of the families are living there for less
than 10 years, it is safe to assume that the community is still young and
growing. For the next years, the population may increase; which in turn
may require more resources and facilities like health centers, schools,
water facilities, etc. Furthermore, in terms of the physical environment, as
most of the families have been living there for more than 5 years, they are
already adapted to their environment and they already know the ways in
which they can utilize and maintain their environment.

belong to the dependent age group. This will be beneficial to the community
since there is a greater number of entities who are independent hence able to

Analysis: The table shows the monthly income ranges of the residents of the
community. Majority of them have a monthly income ranging from 1000 to 5000
pesos this implies that they are not able to support their family adequately hence
branching out to different problems such as health and education. Since their
income is insufficient, they may not be able to give care such as buying the
medications of a sick member of their family or seek consultation. In terms of
education, their children may have an uncertain future because they may not
reach secondary or tertiary level of education which reflects the collected data

Analysis: The primary source of health information of 43.59% of the

community is professional health workers which include doctors, nurses, and
health care providers found in the area. Next are their friends/relatives
(17.95%) whom they can ask regarding health matters as well. They
considered themselves as the least primary source of health information
maybe because they think that they do not have enough knowledge about
health. Also, maybe due to their educational attainment which are commonly
elementary and high school levels.

children aged 6 to 12 years old, 71.43% are overweight, 52.94% are normal,
75% are 1st degree malnourished, and 75% are 2nd degree malnourished.
The table implies that most children in the community are malnourished. This
may be due to the financial status and the number of members of their
families. The children should be given proper nutrition and enough food to
prevent diseases.

their good health and nutrition. It is evident in the table that though majority of
the children received deworming, there are some without. There are
deworming programs conducted by the RHUs and it is best for the parents of
those children without deworming to be reminded about the services offered
by the health centers.

immunized which means that the parents should be informed to complete
their childrens vaccinations. The RHUs offer immunizations and the parents
should be reminded of these services for the community.

to the consumers while both level 1 and 2 might predispose the families
from water borne bacteria or from metal poisoning. Furthermore than half
of the families (23) surveyed has a shared water supply which can also

inlet canals and 14(20.58%) are buried. Incineration is the most common type
71

of waste disposal this can be very problematic because the families near the
fire will be able to inhale the smoke this could lead to the aggregation of
asthma symptoms, suffocation if there is poor ventilation etc. Second is the
burial and collected, the best way of disposing materials is by means of
having professionals collect it for the families this takes the burden away from
the families and is disposed properly by its collectors burial on the other hand
can contaminate the soil. Third is the open dumping it can lead to water
contamination if it is not properly buried in a faraway place and last is the
dumping of refuse in the inlet canal which is very unsanitary and can lead to
clogging of the canal or over flowing of waste in the canal that promote
bacterial growth in the water and it may also become a nesting ground for
mosquitoes.

use chemical agents to kill the insects and vermin while only 14(18.92%)
use biological insect and vermin control. Since the use of chemical agents
were most used by the families to control the insects and vermin they are
prone to many health problems if exposed sufficiently such as dyspnea,
tremors or even paralysis. Second is the mechanical control in which the
family member kills the insects and vermin with hands-on techniques with
the aid of some objects, many people prefer this form of control because
of its effectiveness, simplicity and price however not all insects are killed
in this process and in time the insects and vermin may relate repopulate
and last is the biological control which uses domesticated animals to kill
pest but just like the mechanical way of eliminating insect and vermin
there is high chance of repopulation because some of the pests might
have survived.

Analysis: The table shows that in Sitio ARCAPOL barangay San Pedro
Floridablanca Pampanga the families surveyed owned 28 (41.79%) dogs
twenty six of which has no pens, 15(22.38%) were doves 14 of those had
no pens, 12 (17.91%) were chicken of the 12 7 has no pens, and last are
the 6(8.9%) cats and 6(8.9%) ducks and 6 and 5 had no pens
respectively. Since most of the animals were free to roam there is a
possibility that the animals might get loss which will be a loss of a financial
asset especially for the ducks and chickens furthermore some dogs might
run off and bite other community members spreading rabies.

B. Community Project Plan (CPP)

1. Project Title - Altapresyon
2. Target Sitio & Barangay and Number of Beneficiaries - Sitio Arcapol, Barangay
San Pedro, FloridaBlanca Pampanga, 20 beneficiaries
3. Project Duration 1 Day
4. Project Rationale and Description The leading cause of morbidity in the
barangay is Hypertension. The group decided that a program related to
hypertension will benefit them the most so that they will be aware of the risks and
complications of hypertension and that they will be able to manage it well with the
appropriate means.
5. Project Objectives
a. General Objective - To increase awareness about hypertension by teaching
the families in the community about its signs and symptoms, complications, risk factors,
preventions and medications.
b. Specific Objectives
To promote application of hypertension prevention in the community
To increase the knowledge of the people regarding hypertension
To inform the people the complications of hypertension and its effect if not
properly prevented or controlled
To inform the people the risk factors of having or worsening hypertension present
in the community like cigarette smoke, metal-rich potable water and stress
To inform the community that prayer is also important for prevention and
maintenance of hypertension
6. Project Phase (Narrative)
a. Preparatory Phase After the group analyzed the data gathered, we found
that the leading cause of morbidity in the barangay is hypertension. With this
in mind, the group devised a plan wherein the people in community would be
knowledgeable about hypertension and that the will be able to manage
hypertension in an appropriate way.
b. Implementation Phase The program will be held in the center of the
barangay so that people will have easy access. The group decided on a skit
to start the program followed by the health education. The last part of the
program would be to teach one person in the community who will be willing to
learn how to take blood pressure and take the blood pressure of others in the
community. The program ended with complementary food and drinks given to
the people who attended the program while they were given a sheet to
evaluate the program. In addition, the program was closely monitored by a
barangay kagawads in case something unexpected shall occur.
c. Post- Implementation Phase The program was evaluated by the people
who attended the program.
92

7. Community Participation The people in community will attend the program

implemented by the group. Furthermore, they will participate in the program and
hopefully be able to apply the teachings given to them in their lives.
8. Sustainability We believe that the program implemented was a success as
the people who attended were participating in the lecture and gave a good
evaluation of the program. Furthermore, the group believes that the program
will help with the development of the community as there will be awareness
regarding hypertension which will reduce the morbidity and mortality due to
hypertension. This project can be sustained in the community as the group
donated a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope and the group taught a
member in the community how to take the blood pressure of a patient. In this
way, there will be a regular blood pressure checkup and monitoring in the
community. Furthermore, as the service will be provided within the community,
it will be more accessible to the residents.
9.) Project Plan Matrix
Project description
The objective is to increase awareness about hypertension by teaching
the families in the community about its signs and symptoms,
complications, risk factors, preventions and medications.
The purpose is at the end of the activity, the members of the community
will be able to gain more and correct knowledge about hypertension
and a member of the community will learn how to take blood
pressure.
The result is that they have gained more knowledge and a member
became competent in checking blood pressure.

Chapter 5
Community Project Evaluation (CPE)
A. Overview (title, objectives, duration, area)
The group conducted an activity entitled Talakayan ukol sa Altapresyon. The
activity was held at Sitio Arcapol, Bgy. San Pedro, Floridablanca, Pampanga on
August 3, 2014. It lasted for two hours. The activity aimed to: educate the members
of the community about hypertension, promote a healthier lifestyle, and to
encourage regular monitoring of blood pressure by teaching one member of the
community how to take blood pressure.
B. Activities Done (what are the activities implemented before, during, after)
Preparation for the flow of activities was done. At first, the members of the
community registered for the activity. Then they were asked to take a pre-test
regarding the topic to be discussed which was hypertension. The group then
checked the vital signs of the members of the community gathered in the area. The
temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure were checked.
Medications and vitamins were also given. Some children were assessed for IMCI.
After the checkup, a health teaching about hypertension was conducted by some of
the members of the group. They tackled what hypertension was, its signs and
symptoms, complications, and the different ways to prevent it. After the health
education about hypertension, the members of the group asked questions and gave
prizes for those who answered right A post-test was also given to the listeners to
evaluate the knowledge they gained from the discussion. Also, they were asked to
answer an evaluation form to evaluate the activity held. The group also chose a
volunteer from the community to teach how to take blood pressure using the
sphygmomanometer the group donated. A one on one return demonstration was
done to make sure the volunteer knows the proper way of taking blood pressure so
that she will be able to monitor the BP of the people of the community.

The participants of the program Talakayan ukol sa Altapresyon rated the group in
all aspect of the program as napakahusay , sobrang husay and mahusay. The
participants enjoyed the program and claimed that they gained knowledge about
hypertension and lifestyle activities that triggers it. Some also commented that the
group was able to discuss the topic clearly and actively.
2. Students Evaluation
Based from the results of the post test and from their responses
during the question and answer part, they were able to know the different
causes and effects of hypertension. Therefore we find the lecture about
hypertension effective. By the end of the activity we were able to meet the
expected results and attain our goals, to inform the people and fraise their
awareness about hypertension. The data gathered showed hypertension
as one of the leading causes of morbidity in the community thus a lecture
about hypertension is considered to be appropriate. The goals/objectives
and interventions are correct and accurate in relation to the health needs
of the community. The activity done was adequate enough to bring about
change and improvement in the community. The outcome of the
intervention done was worth the community development teams time,
effort, and resources. However, it would be better if more participants
attended the lecture. Nevertheless, the attendees met the desired
outcome of the activity.

Conclusion and Recommendation
A. Conclusion
Community Organizing Participatory Action Research is vital in the
community health nursing. The website, rnpedia.com defines it as a
continuous and sustained process of educating the people to understand and
develop their critical awareness of their existing condition, working with the
people collectively and efficiently on their immediate and long term problems,
and mobilizing the people to develop their capability and readiness to respond
and take action on their immediate needs towards solving their long term
problems. It is based on the interest of the poorest sectors of the society. It
should lead to a self-reliant community.
After the data collection, the group concludes that there are more males
than females. Majority of the male members are aged 5-10 years old while
majority of female members are aged between 0-4 and 10-14 years old.
Majority are married, have reached elementary level, Catholics,employed
where majority work as farmers with a monthly income ranging from 1,000 to
5,000 pesos,and originated from Region III. Most of the people of the
community have been staying for 5-10 years. A number of mothers had
prenatal check-up, tetanus toxoid vaccine, iron and vitamin A supplements
and postpartum follow-up and are also breastfeeding their newborn. The
dependency ratio of the community is high. In terms of disease occurrence,
dengue was the leading cause of morbidity in the past illness while for the
present illness is hypertension. Members of the community were acceptors of
family planning such as pills as the leading method. Almost all members of
the community seek services provided by the health center and rural health
units. Health workers are the primary source of health information. In their
nutritional status, most children are malnourished and are not fully
immunized. For the environmental setting, majority owns a house built with
mixed materials, with a satisfactory ventilation, electricity, and without
overcrowding however they dont have an appropriate food storage. Half of
the families surveyed has a shared level 2 water supply and a level 2 excreta
disposal and incineration is the most used method of disposal. In controlling
insects and vermin the most common technique used is chemical. Dogs are
usual in the community however without kennels.
B. Recommendation
1. Community
For the community the group recommends that they should be
aware and take advantage of the services provided for them by the health
center and the Rural Health Unit (RHU). The community is also
recommended to actively participate in various activities or seminars to
increase their awareness on different illnesses and ways to prevent them.
2. Community Development Team
104

The researchers recommendation for the community development

team is for them to utilize the community resources and adjust to the
communitys way of living, the group also recommends that the students
must consider the educational level of the members of the community and
take into consideration in planning programs the ability of the members of
the community to sustain the implemented program.
C. Students learning experiences, insights, or realization
Cristituto Abarintos
When I first heard that we were the first ones to go to immersion I
immediately reacted with a big smile on my face because I was thinking that
immersion would be fun and that i would have more free time to do my
assignments however I suddenly remembered the things that would be done on
the immersion activity: surveys, establishing rapport and implementing,
evaluating etc. - also known as COPAR, this sudden realization made me a little
pessimistic because we were to work hard and exert ourselves in order to make
a proper community organization so that people will not just rely on us but
participate with us to empower themselves. This made me so pessimistic about it
because the thought that I was to build rapport and help so many people was so
overwhelming for me furthermore the documentation to be done was too bulky
for me there were so many things to analyze, tabulate and evaluate that for me
looked
very
exhausting.
However when I think about this right now, when all of the requirements
and the actual immersion was done I could actually say that I have learned not
just academically but also in my personality, this immersion has thought me how
to interact with several people not just individually but a whole family instead,
additionally my initial thoughts were debunked as mere pessimistic ideas and the
people there actually accompanied me in helping themselves- exactly the
opposite of my thoughts-, the documentation helped me understand CHN more
and that it wasn't really bulky when we as a group help each other, in which I am
very thankful for the immersion experience because it really helped us know
each
other
more.
Before the activity started I was really pessimistic about the immersion
activity because I really thought that we were really going to work all day long
and that the people there would not be so kind to us but that wasn't the case
when I came to the community they were really kind and they were curious to
why I was there they even accompanied me to the home I visited for my family
105

nursing care plan furthermore the work we did was really not that tiring yes there
were times we slept late but the bitter work was handy especially if the family you
have cared for said "thank you".
Paolo Abelarde
I can consider this shift as one of those which I would never forget
because it is a new experience for me that brings about new learnings which I
can apply alongside with new realizations which brought changes into how I view
my life. Besides the academic purpose of the said activity I could tell that socially,
it made an impact because we get to work together really as a team which I think
strengthened our bond even more.
Learning is a never ending process but the learnings Ive picked up from
this immersion are truly worth keeping and it was not just limited to the concepts
we grasped from books but also from the people whom we had encountered
such as being optimistic that one day the challenges being conquered would
soon vanish, another is being strategic amid all the struggles they experience
and many more.
One realization that I made is to be thankful for what I have now because
there are a lot of people in our society who cannot even attain the basic needs of
life but us we often get more than our needs.
To sum up, this was really a fruitful activity packed with enjoyments and
learnings hopefully the next time we do such activity we would be able to utilize
our learnings that we had acquired here and also be able to gain more new
experiences.
Rafael Gianlorenzo Abilgos
The immersion was very fun and I think that it helped me improve my
social, cooking and especially my nursing skills. At first, I was very afraid on
going for the immersion. Afraid, of the people, the depressed community and the
diseases that I might acquire. But after being there for 2 weeks. I was proved
wrong. The people were very friendly and hospitable. The community wasnt as
bad as I have expected and the barangay captain was also very hospitable and
provided us with protection.
During the immersion, I got to apply the theories and lessons that Ive
learned from my community health nursing course. I was able to perform homevisit alone, take up surveys, plan appropriate programs for the community and
implement them. Furthermore, I also got to improve the lessons Ive learned from
pediatrics in our duty in the RHU. I got to practice the IMCI. In addition, I also
learned the duties and functions of a company nurse.
During the experience, I really got to cherish my life more. Seeing those
families living in bad conditions such as no electricity, toilet, air conditioning,
106

education etc. I got to appreciate what I have and became more thankful for
being fortunate enough.
In all, the experience was very life changing and I cant wait for the next
immersion
Chelsi Anne Abolencia
Our RLE group went to Pampanga last July 26 to July 28, 2014 for our
immersion. It was my first time and I definitely enjoyed it. On our first day there,
we had our community house to house which was very tiring. We were asked to
interview and survey different families in order for us to know the major problems
in the community. Because of this activity, we were able to see where and how
the families live even for just a short period of time. We also had a duty in the
RHU. Though, there were a few patients, we were still able to learn a lot of things
during our discussions. Our first week in the community was one great
experience.
We went back again last August 2 to 4, 2014. We had a very fun time on
our fourth day because we were able to reminisce on our childhood. We played
piko, patintero, and chinese garter with the children of the community while the
adults had their assembly with another RLE from 3NUR3. This is probably my
most favorite activity because I really enjoyed playing with the kids. And even
though, I might not be able to meet them again, they will always have a special
place in my heart. The next day, we came back to Arcapol to conduct health
education about hypertension. I was one of the speakers and I am more than
happy to share some of my knowledge among the people of the community. On
our last day, we went back to the RHU to have our duty wherein we once again
learned a lot of new things. We were even given a chance to witness a tooth
extraction by the dentist in the RHU.
Last August 11, 2014, we went to Laguna to visit Kia which is a motor
company, to interview their occupational health nurse to know their roles and
functions. We also toured the company and identified its health hazards and what
the nurse does about them.
Our whole experience in our immersion was definitely memorable. All the
long walks under the hot sun, long hours of practicing for health education, family
nursing care plan making, and late night brainstorming for activities were worth it.
It was really fun. I even enjoyed the car ride. I am glad that I was able to
experience it with my favorite RLE. I am looking forward for another immersion in
our fourth year because I really enjoyed this shift, maybe because of the great
107

place we stayed at, our nice clinical instructor, the kind people in the community
and simply the company of each other.

A mind that is stretched by new experience can never go back to its old
dimensions
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
My whole experience during the immersion was something I will treasure. It
was one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. The immersion was able to
let me grow as a person and also as a student nurse. The activities we did
refreshed almost all the things I learned during our CHN and IMCI class. I was
also able to learn new things and appreciate more the essence of helping others.
I also feel lucky because I was able to experience all of these with my RLEmates
with the guidance of our understanding and nice clinical instructor.
I am also glad that we were able to touch and somehow make a difference
in other peoples life. Honestly, the people in the community did not just helped
me to learn things academically but they were able to touch a portion of my life
that will always be one of my inspiration to be a good and effective health care
provider. I really enjoyed in this shift and I am looking forward for another
wonderful experience like this in the community.
Nicole Philynne Acierda
With the experience of community immersion, duties at health center, and
visiting a company, I gained a lot of knowledge which helped me improve as a
student nurse and also as an individual.
In this shift, my learning in home visit and CHN was not only refreshed but
was also expanded. It helped me to become a better healthcare provider by
enhancing my skills especially in assessment.
This experience in Pampanga has also served as an eye opener for me.
Seeing the families in the community and hearing their life stories hit me. This
made me realize how lucky I am now. It pushed me to value every single thing
that I have now, no matter how little or simple it may be. This experience in the
community also showed me how important education really is, which made me
regret of the times that I do procrastinate and also served as a motivation for me
to do better and study harder.
One more benefit of having this experience is the tight bond formed within
our RLE group. Staying under one roof for several days had let us known each
other better. Understanding ones differences was very helpful. Doing our
activities with each other was very challenging and fun at the same time.
108

Most importantly, I have seen and realized the importance of community

health nursing in reducing the frequency and duration of hospitalizations. It is
also very effective especially because healthcare is given right before those who
are really in need. I can say that this experience in the community was indeed a
fruitful one.
Patricia Ann Adille
With these numbers of days, we learned things that is immeasurable; a
learning that we will never learn in any school or institution. These learnings, we
deem them not as knowledge, but wisdom.
On the first day, we did our surveying. The people of the community were
very kind to us; I can see and feel that they look up on us and respect us, and so
do we; we respect them. On our second week, we played with the children in the
community. Playing with them pricks me with nostalgia; I remembered my
younger years. I enjoyed playing and watching them. I was also happy that I
gained the trust of an infant as he accepts me to carry him. On the next day, we
implemented our program regarding hypertension. Our program became like a
medical mission; most of the people who attended our program are not
hypertensives. But it is alright, we like serving and reaching out to others.
What I say is our story, so what did I learn and deem as wisdom? I
learned that money isnt everything, contradicted to what I believe. Being happy
with moneys and possessions is the most superficial form of happiness; and in
reality it does not really make you happy. Another is that, true intelligence is not
measured on how good you are in using machines; but it is by being resourceful
and building you own simple machine. The peoples in the community do not
have the sophisticated machineries that we have in the city, but still they are able
to do what we can do, maybe even better. And lastly, tall buildings and
skyscrapers are not a sign of development. I see that the people in the
community are more human than some peoples here in Manila. They say that it
is the cruel world that makes cruel individuals; but the peoples in the community
have a harsher situation, and they still maintain their values as individuals.
Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived. - Eleanor
Roosevelt
