As social workers, we should remember is that we should engage and encourage diversity and different cultures in the workplace. When working with LGBT individuals, help them find what their strengths are and to help them with their struggles with their own identities. The second value that is important to know is that we, as social workers, should also make it a practice to strive for social institutions to be more humane and responsive to human needs. Members of the LGBT community are discriminated against at work because f who they are, and it is our job to help prevent that from happening. Whether it is talking to human resources at your company and helping them set up some better hiring boundaries, or assisting members of the LGBT community to find careers and jobs where they won’t have to deal with that fear of workplace harassment or rejection. If better boundaries are met then we may be able to see a major decrease in the homelessness rates and an increase in diversity in the workplace. This also comes down to the third value of committing ourselves as social workers to assisting clients to obtain additional resources. This can range from finding them a therapist to helping perform talk therapy, to finding them respectable housing or careers. These values help give us our own parameters when identifying our client’s specific problems and needs.

The LGBT community needs a voice, and as social workers, it is our job to help aid them in finding their voices. We do that by becoming their voices or helping members of the community find their own voice and help amplify that voice. With so many obstacles it has been a difficult journey fighting for their voices, but with our help as social workers, they may be able to defeat the rejection and bullying done by family, peers, and society. It may, additionally, result in increased workplace equality and diversity.

In many other countries, being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) means living with discrimination on a daily basis. This discrimination could be based on your sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or sex characteristics From name-calling and bullying to being denied a job or appropriate healthcare, the range of unequal treatment faced is extensive and damaging. It can also be life-threatening. In all too many cases, LGBT people are harassed in the streets, beaten up, and sometimes killed, simply because of who they are. A spate of violence against trans people has claimed the lives of at least 325 individuals between October 2016 and September 2017.

When it comes to children who identify as LGBT, it can be very hard for them to deal with the pressure of not being able to come out the closet. Within the foster care system, social services providers have set goal of making sure children are placed in a safe environment that is least restrictive to their development. When it comes to children of different races, ethnicity, and gender, caseworkers must make sure that children’s caregivers can match their specific needs. This can often be a task with lack of foster homes, the distance between homes and resources, the difference in the culture surrounding a child, and many other issues within personal communities. When it comes to children of the LGBT community, this becomes a bigger task.

The LGBT community is still something that doesn’t get very much attention. For example, in the state of Illinois, the policies in the Department of Children and Family Services address LGBT children, although, it is not something that is well known to most workers and there is still a major lack in literature, policies, training, and advocacy for those children. While policies directly protect them against discrimination, the fragility of those identities in children is not necessarily taking into account. This is the same for the policies in most states across the U.S. It is a phenomenon that is still not fully discovered.

One of the main issues with sexuality is that youths get discriminated against all the time. Some of the comments that LGBT youths are faced with are as follows: “I hate gays. They should be banned from this country;” “Get away from me, you faggot. I can’t stand the sight of you;” “These queers make my stomach turn.” Those are only a few of the biased statements that LBGT youths are faced within society. A lot of people say the word “faggot” which is often used by anti-gay individuals to terrorize LGBT youths. Words such as “faggot” or “gay” are sometimes used in a negative sense to express something that seems too disgusting or uncool to certain people When that occurs, it shows an even greater sign of discrimination against the LGBT youths. These hurtful words are not only used in the real world but also in movies and TV shows which makes it harder for LGBT youths to deal with. In addition to the discrimination from society and their peers, LGBT youths also endure discrimination from homes/families and usually schools.
Topic: community-service

Today’s statistics reports that one-half of LGBT youths are neglected by their parents because of their sexual preference and approximately a quarter of LGBT youths are mandated to leave their homes. Rejected LGBT youths generally do not learn how to build a relationship with peers or families. As a result, it creates a state of loneliness and isolation for them. Some LGBT youths are both verbally and physically abused by parents. In addition to that, about 40% of youths that are homeless are classified as LGBT youths. This shows 27% of male teenagers who classified themselves as gay or bisexual left home due to quarrels with family members over their sexuality. Needless to say, parents and families play a big part in discrimination against LGBT youths and the effects that it has on them. Nevertheless, it appears that the majority of the discrimination against LGBT youths comes from the schools that they attend to.

Another problem is that sexual education in schools does not address the possibility that not all children are going to be heterosexual. Puberty is a huge time in a child’s life where they begin to question themselves, and their emotions become heightened, and they feel less “child-like”. It is during this time that we must be active as parents, educators, and social service providers to make sure that children understand that it is okay to not be sure about who or what they like. This is something lacking in our education system. Often it is left up to the parents, but this leaves a lot of foster children to fall through the cracks. Children who do not end up in permanent placements or who get passed from home to home are left even more confused.
Topic: community-service

As social service providers, it is crucial that we are paying attention to a child that might be questioning themselves. Gender identity and sexuality is an extremely fragile thing. While we definitely want to make sure we are providing children with resources, we also want to ensure they don’t feel singled out or like they have a problem. Often times service providers might refer a child to counseling to deal with the emotions of questioning their identity, but it is crucial that providers leave that up to the child themselves.
Topic: community-service

Many caseworkers are not trained on the specific policies for the LGBT community, due to differing opinions of those who do the training. For example, in Illinois there is very little training that addresses how to work with LGBT children specifically, however, the state does have their own LGBT liaison. Many offices are unaware the state liaison exists, which is why it is crucial to do extra research when the possibility of having a child with these specific needs enters your caseload.
Topic: community-service

The biggest piece in working with children of the LGBT community is to make sure they are in a supportive, open-minded, and safe environment. This means making sure the caseworker, foster parents, and those working with the child, have no personal beliefs that would interfere with the child thriving in their environment with their personal sexuality. Some private agencies have religious affiliations which could be a hindrance to some children. Open-mindedness and a willingness to learn are the key factors in looking for an LGBT placement. Children of the trans community will need a large amount of support and advocacy and a lot of that will need to come from a caregiver, due to the emotional toll of day-to-day living.
Topic: community-service

Caseworkers and agency staff should still remain sensitive to the child’s specific needs and ensure their foster placement is supporting them. This does not mean children need to be in a home of homosexual couples or caregivers. While that certainly might help, it does not mean they cannot get what they need from other caregivers. It just comes down to making sure foster parents are trained to have the same open minds as social service providers and that children are matched to the best, most supportive homes.
Topic: community-service

The last thing to know about this is that children have the right to choose when they “come out” to others. Even if a worker suspects something, they should always seek specific permission from the child, before addressing anything with sexuality. This includes counseling, LGBT advocacy, foster placements, support groups, service planning with specific tasks on LGBT, life skills training with specific LGBT elements, etc. It is never a service provider’s job to out a child. Unless that child is in specific danger, their sexuality should remain a private matter.
Topic: community-service

Children have a right to privacy and they have a right to support. As service providers, we must always remain sensitive to our client’s needs, and if a child is suspected to have some questions, workers should be very careful about how they proceed. The last thing anyone wants to do is traumatize a child more, by simply being unaware of the proper procedures. It is also good to remember that personal opinions and religious beliefs should have no bearing on how a child is addressed. Children are human beings and deserve the same care and respect, no matter their gender, race, religious belief, or sexuality.

In every student’s course work, community service is considered crucial as it gives the student a clearer picture of the outside world. Community service calls for volunteer works where we help those who need help for example homes for the aged, children homes, hospitals and schools in slums. Participating in community service not only makes a difference to the organization and people being served, but also makes a difference to every student’s career prospects. Participating in community service activities helps to enhance student resumes by allowing students to obtain work-related skills prior to graduation, builds good references for employers in regards to community involvement, and provides a forum to network with future potential employers.

They also noted the deplorable conditions within the slums hence they decided to set up a health facility that the slum dweller would comfortably afford. Around this same period there was an influx of water borne diseases due to poor sanitation and drainage systems were non-existent. It is also around this period that the first small Rwanda genocide happened and there were refugees. This means the area was overpopulated. The missionary sisters tried to help the affected through social works after they erected the convent in Ruaraka. This came with its challenges. One of the greatest challenges was that they needed funds. The sick needed drugs, mosquito nets, water guard to make water safe for consumption, dig wells and trenches to drain stagnant water around homes.

My community service commenced on the 8th of May unsure of what to expect but very optimistic. I was warmly welcomed by the guards upon arrival. I arrived at 8am and 10 minutes later the staff went for their daily catholic mass and they requested me join despite being a stranger. The institution being headed by the Benedictine sisters, the pictures of the Pope, the head sisters and the babies delivered in the institution are well displayed in the facility.

During the first week,I was oriented to the institution. I was trained to do hospital chores starting with the maternity which was my first destination. I was taught on the different chemicals used while cleaning, where to use them and how to use them. I was also taken through the schedule in the hospital. Time keeping was a skill I had to master and observe. Hygiene was also emphasized mainly because I was handling patients and newborns. Despite the first impression that the task being hard and extremely exhausting I came to love the tasks and since then I haven’t missed not even a single day. With time I blended in and I mastered my duties well and the patients could ask questions and I would be of help. I made friends in the institution which made my stay more and more interesting. I was no longer lonely I would work extra hours at ease. It was interesting to note that despitedoing some of these tasks at home, the hospital had its own unique way of doing these tasks.

St Scholastica aims at helping curb the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases. This is by conducting outreach every two months and educating the masses on how to protect themselves, giving medication to malaria and waterborne diseases patients and help improve living conditions of those affected. The hospital also gives mosquito nets to every mother after giving birth. The hospital has a Comprehensive Care Centre section where they offer free medicine to those suffering to tuberculosis and also give ARVs.

Dual Blessings provides services such as vocational training to achieve a breakthrough in their lives that enables disabilities to have better job opportunities. On that day of servicing, I managed to have a sharing session with Mr Goh, which was the person in charge of the organization, and got to know the insights of some other friends with disability. Hence, I understand their pasts and gave them appropriate confidence and encouragement for them to step back into the society.

All of us are living on the Earth that is a habitat for humanity, and we were not placed here by chance. If we are living together, we have the responsibility for each other. We should help anyone who is in need and be sympathetic to others. They are also very motivated because as follows by the quote said by Mr. Goh “Instead of giving them fish, we teach how to fish”. They have never asked anything from anyone and worked for everything to the best extend within their capabilities.

I helped them to cook lunch and clean up their surroundings and places where they couldn’t reach. During the time I understand that I do this work because I love those people and want to make their life easier. I wasn’t because of the responsibilities, it was because I wanted to do that. Nobody’s going to pay me, nobody’s going to say “thank you,” but I still wanted to help others. I found out that community service helps us understand a lot of things we’ve never known of before. This helps me to think about the motivations and consequences of my daily actions, and also help me to set my goals properly.

Community service has helped me to notice other people who have surrounded me and become a true part of society, not just a factual part of it. I found that it’s not difficult to volunteer for community service, and all the lessons I’ve learned will have a significant impact on my future life. The construction of community service requires people to work in groups, I’m sure it’s another big advantage that shouldn’t be overlooked. If you work in a group, you connect with others, and this contact will change a lot in your life. First of all, you’ve got a chance to learn from others. Community service does not require any specific training or education to become a member of it. Obviously, not everyone is completely aware of things, and that’s a good chance to learn from someone who is more skilled. I have never been a good cook, but the time spent on the organization’s kitchen definitely taught me a lot. Now I can surely say that I can cook some of the basic recipes I learned that day.

Communication helps people to share their experience, knowledge, and support each other to improve. It’s also great fun working together as you become friends, always sharing your stories and jokes. I hope that my reflection on community service can help to gain awareness and help people to share love with people with disabilities. It’s also a chance to get to know new things and to get new skills from other people who are more knowledgeable than you I have already realized how important it is to spend time with others, but not thinking about the waste of my time. I finally understand that not only material repayment is important. I received lots of emotions and the feeling of being happily satisfied, and that is much better than money.

Community service, a type of voluntary work that is intended to help people in a particular area, is optional labor that has a positive, lasting effect on the participants as well as the society. As with any extracurricular activity, community service requires lots of time and energy spent on a particular task. Consequently, many scholars have debated the effect of mandatory volunteer service hours on students in high schools across the nation. Because community service is supposed to be an optional work, schools should not make it mandatory because in doing so, they take away the volunteerism that enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to those who need it most.
Topic: community-service

True volunteering lies in an individual’s will and drives to help others and enforcing it eliminates that drive. When students are required to participate in community service projects to graduate, some students may not gain social or personal benefits from the program and may find the experience less than fulfilling simply because they were required to do it. These undedicated workers often only fulfill the volunteer position as a result of the boost it gives a college resume or the requirements assigned to them by their school.

Sure, they get the social experiences of travel and lifelong memories of those they spent their time with, but in the end, these students’s life-changing experiences may not truly be why they tagged along. “Leave they do, after little as a week of helping to repair some village’s crumbling school or library, to return to their comfortable homes and quite possibly write a college-application essay about how transformed they are” (Bruni 169). To them, volunteering is just a pertinent opportunity that is there to help give them the boost they need to reach the next step in life. As a result, the people they leave behind forever are only distant memories, seen as a way to fulfill everyday school requirements, instead of people visited because they were in need.
Topic: community-service

Furthermore, by implementing mandatory community service, students are burdened with yet an extra criteria to meet in order to graduate. As a result of the overbearing projects forced upon high schoolers, students obtain more things to shuffle, and correspondingly, would acquire less sleep in order to make more time for additional extracurricular activities. Therefore, the only thing mandatory volunteer work accomplishes is adding stress and giving long nights to students already deprived of sleep.
Topic: community-service

Community service has a constructive, and enduring effect on its participants and society because it is a volunteer work intended to help the people of a particular community. Just like any nonscholastic activity, community service requires lots of time, energy, and commitment for those who chose to participate. As a result, many teachers and other educators have argued whether forcing such an activity onto students is a principled idea. Since volunteer work is supposed to be optional, academies should avoid making it binding because by doing so, they create a time crunch for students, leading them to take low-effort volunteer opportunities instead of giving service to those who need it most. In doing this, schools give students added stress and the point of view that volunteer work is the only way that students are able to attain the goals of their community. All things considered, community service is without a doubt a learning experience, however, the choice to partake in such an experience should be up to the student. Just as sports aren’t for everyone, volunteer work isn’t for everyone. It’s up to more than just the high school student to change the world, which can be achieved through activities other than community service.

Community service/volunteerism can be defined as a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of people for the benefit of their community or its institutions, as stated by Wikipedia. In my point of view, community service/volunteerism is service for others, selflessness, and reflection. Community service is putting one’s needs before your own and helping those who are in need of your help. Acts of selflessness help to improve self-confidence and builds a person’s self-esteem as they are able to interact with the different people around them.

These goals are Goal 1: Jamaicans are empowered to achieve their fullest potential Goal 2: The Jamaican society is secure, cohesive, and just Goal 3: Jamaica’s economy is prosperous Goal 4: Jamaica has a healthy natural environment. Of the four (4) goals, two (2) can be considered to be related to community service/volunteerism. These two (2) goals are Goal 1 and Goal 2.
Topic: community-service

Goal 2 speaks about crime and violence in society. In Jamaica, there are places that have a high level of crime and violence. Some individuals turn to crime and violence when they have no form of income. Being involved in community service can increase levels of prosocial behavior, belonging, and happiness among others. It can also provide opportunities for individuals and help them abstain from crime and violence. Through community service, educational seminars can be held to promote the importance of becoming involved in volunteerism, the opportunities that it may provide, self-development, and encouraging service for others. This, in the end, can help to reduce crime and violence that has been hindering Jamaica’s economy.
Topic: community-service

Through my community service, to help to achieve Goal 1, I will help to spread the importance of becoming involved in community service by imparting my previous experiences to those I come across during this community service. I will also encourage them to become a better vision of themselves and motivate them to ignite their talents and abilities by enhancing their self-esteem and self-confidence. The achievement of these objectives will aid Jamaica in becoming a step further in achieving ‘Vision 2030’.

During the holidays we celebrate in interesting ways; on Halloween we have a party where every one gets dressed and brings candy. For the Christmas season we are going to celebrate with a party at a members house and listen to Christmas carols, and have dinner. We have had bake sales and have sold candy in order to raise money for the clubs activities. These are usually a success because every one participates and we all seem to function well as a group. When there are dances or football games at school we each take one of the girls and it’s good for them because they get to interact with the rest of the school at a big function. This club is not only fun, but it’s like going to a meeting with some of your friends. We are a small group and we all get along. Since we are a small group it is also difficult for us to do a lot of things. It is difficult to educate the larger part of the public who doesn’t know what these kids are like. It is also hard to raise money to do many activities. It would be great if more kids would join each year, and it would be great if the ignorance level had lowered. Many students just don’t want to know anything of these kids. I chose to discuss G.A.R.C. because it is a group that could use help from the community at Greenwich high, and I thought I could help by explaining exactly what we do. Why talk about something else, when I could tell of something I enjoy and that needs more attention.

Community service is a non-paying job about 200 to 60 hours performed by one person or a group of people for the benefit of their community, but should it really be mandatory? Community service is different from volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis. It may be performed for a variety of reasons, the most common one is mandatory community service hours to graduate from high school. But education should not be limited to the classroom and that community service is a learning experience.

The first time i stepped into Rehema Pefa home, i did not know what to expect, since it was my first time to be in an orphanage, let alone providing my services to this place. So it was a very early morning on 6th of May which my friends and I went looking for a place to provide our services. And we landed to Rehema Pefa home as we waited to be received. We were finally welcomed inside around 11am. We were received by a supervisor of this place called Michelle, she talked with us about this place, and she also walked us around. She divided us into small groups two by two, and gave us days to come to work.

Honestly, it wasn’t my first time to do the work i was doing (washing dishes, ironing, cleaning, mopping, peeling, etc.) because where i am from, from a young age we are taught to do such work, so obviously it was not hard and it felt good doing it for the community.

Rehema Pefa Home’s strength is the sponsors and donors who are willing to finance this institution unconditionally. Rehema Pefa home has many people who care much about orphans and would like to contribute to improving their living conditions. Among these people, the sponsors are Irvin and Ruth Schwandt, together with the PEFA (PENTECOSTAL EVANGELISTIC FELLOWSHIP OF AFRICA) church leader. The donors are other churches who are friends with the Schwandt family and also two ladies who donate milk constantly.

Rehema Pefa home also has many workers who are charged with different duties. This institution has about 20-25 employees who works are divided in two shifts, day shift and night shift. These workers are in charge of different things. Some take care of young babies, others care for other children, others work in the laundry, others are cleaners, others are cooks, others are guards, and others are drivers. Rehema Pefa home has a nurse and a doctor, who provide their medical services to these children for free. This team works tirelessly with dedication and determination, to provide these children a happy and better environment.

So I expect to work willingly for this institution as long as i am assigned, and i am to provide my services willingly and tirelessly. I will keep working together with people of Rehema Pefa home, to improve the conditions of the children and also learn several things as I go. I hope my services will be of great use because, after understanding the conditions in which these children live in, especially the ones with HIV/AIDS, it is automatic to compassionate. These children with HIV+ need a lot of attention and during my work time I participate in their supervision.

During our Community Service course, I was in design team, we helped our EcoGreen Awareness project to introduce the art of nature and showed the people how productive it can be, we combined our strength and guided each other to do the right thing.To help the nature and ourselves.The course improved a lot of our skills. Starting with leadership skills. Let’s start with the fact that leadership is the lead, therefore the leader is the person who leads people to the goal they achieve.
Topic: community-service

The leader must be able to correctly convey information to subordinates, set an example, and control the execution of the tasks assigned. The leader must find the right tools to motivate staff. The correct impact and inspiration of his subordinates, will lead the leader to the goal that he sought to achieve. For this, the leader must constantly strive for self-development and self-control. A true leader has such qualities as: dedication, confidence, sanity, restraint, determination and creativity.
Topic: community-service

The leader is interested in self-development, as he is constantly confronted with various tasks. He should be able to realistically assess tasks, quickly find the best ways to solve them, and take full responsibility for this. He must also competently analyze, structure and distribute the ways to solve the tasks set between his subordinates. The leader can simplify the solution of the problem or take the risk. You can’t be born being a leader, but you can become one! Behavioral theories believe that people can become leaders through the process of teaching, learning and observation.

Leadership is a set of skills that can be learned through training, perception, practice and experience. Leadership training continues throughout life. Real leaders are looking for development opportunities to acquire new skills. It is necessary to note that the military is using this doctrine as part of a leadership training program. Can this management program and leadership itself make someone a real leader? Can you teach Charisma, Influence, Honesty and the ability to Inspire? Yes, as I experienced during our course.

Another thing that I improved is my sociability. Sociability is the ability to find a common language with people, regardless of the status and degree of acquaintance. Skill is appreciated at work, since such a person is sent to important negotiations. Sociable personality manifests itself in the company. Such a person is distinguished by interesting communication, gestures, the ability to choose a topic of conversation, the stories are retold interesting, lively and bright – this is what means communicative (communicative) simple words. People with communication skills are more likely to being hired and moving up the career path. But, it should be understood that sociability borders on other skills: self-confidence, leadership and initiative. Not all managers are ready for such an active employee behavior. Therefore, conflicts are possible, up to and including dismissal. However, the benefits of communication are much greater. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of communicability. A sociable person knows how to negotiate and achieve results. Sometimes it takes even a few minutes to do this, such a person gets real pleasure from communication. He easily chooses words, he is sure of himself, charismatic in his own way, he easily finds topics for conversations, regardless of who he communicates with. The ability to communicate in an interesting and lively way does not depend on age – it can be a sociable girl or a gray-haired old man: a conversation with both will be not only pleasant, but more often useful, since genuinely communicative people are far from idle talk. This is the one to whom communication is a pleasure. It is not important for a sociable person, with whom to communicate, he is interested in the process itself. Communicative people are characterized by flexibility in contacts, the ability and ability to not get lost when communicating in different situations, self-confidence, they easily adapt to new conditions, are able to successfully negotiate, strive for initiative and leadership in a team.

Productivity was another factor to progress in me, as a quality of a person is the ability to be personally effective, create material and spiritual values, achieve high results, work productively, fruitfully and usefully. Productivity requires thinking about the continuous improvement of their skills. Not only writers, artists and poets have to think about their own fruitfulness and productivity. Anyone who is in the top ten of his life purpose is fruitful and productive. When a person is engaged in his favorite work, the path to the products of his labor turns into a holiday for him. Favorite work, by definition, becomes productive and gives an incomparable taste of happiness. When a person works productively, the heavens endow him with engagement, obsession and unremitting interest. It becomes efficient, effective and creatively active. Productivity implies the ability to cooperate. It is based on hard work. Diligence in addition to the desire to do your favorite business, involves professionalism, the ability to come to a reasonable, optimal organization of work. Therefore, it is efficient, productive and effective. Unlike an industrious person, a workaholic is not bothered by the scientific organization of labor. For him it is important that the work was more, in her he sees the only life value. For a hardworking person, work is desired, he goes to work with love, and leaves with pleasure. Diligence is productive, it leads to wealth and prosperity, and work based on promises of greed to poverty and disease. If you want to not work all your life, find a lesson appropriate for your purpose. The work intended is productive, for it is pleasure and joy. A hardworking person is productive, fulfilling his duty, he feels happy, every working day is a holiday for him.

I also realized that it’s useful to help the environment during our course. As for me, having thoughts of becoming an artist in the future, nature is very important.There is no more brilliant artist in the world than nature itself. Everything created by her are real masterpieces. Artists are attracted by these images of untouched nature. The pictures of many artists depict the steppe landscapes with their pristine beauty that has not yet been disturbed. I believe that it is very important that we learn to love and appreciate nature. And life will become richer and more interesting for us. We will not be indifferent and heartless: the one who loves nature will not spoil the tree, will not pick the flower, will not destroy the bird. I would very much like us to learn to hear not only the ears, but also the heart and the rustle of leaves, and the rustling of grass and the murmur of a streamlet, and the singing of birds; so that we learn to love and regret everything living in the forest and the forest itself is an extraordinary miracle of nature. In the past decades, ecology has experienced an unprecedented flourishing, it has become an increasingly important science, closely interacting with biology, natural history, and geography. Now the word “ecology” is found in all media. And for more than a decade not only scientists, but also writers, artists, and composers have been concerned about the interaction between nature and human society. At the same time The influence of nature is entirely interrupted by the artist’s attempt to interpret it. The artist does not know anything about her, any more than any ordinary citizen and is trying to somehow bring it into a part of his own toolkit, like light, perspective or linear perspective. Needless to say, the relationship is not very healthy. The experience of the same marine painters suggests that a real dialogue with nature begins at the moment when the artist recognizes that this dialogue is not based on his conditions. And this is probably the main and best possible influence of nature on the life of not only the artist, but the human one . Since the world, in its current version, is set up in such a way that we can hardly ever perceive nature as naturally as in the times preceding rationalism, at least we will always have something in her face that is not amenable to ready-made interpretations or rather, just returning ours to us. Of course, many artists eventually understood and then it became no less an island of stability for them than finding something of their own.

It should be noted the special role of Community Service, it acts as one of the most common ways to attract students to socially useful work. The organization of public works has certain advantages over other methods of combating environmental pollution. First of all, the amounts that people employed are significantly higher than benefits. It is also important that the moral and psychological state of people performing public works is much better than that of those who are not at all busy. Certain benefits in this form of employment are for enterprises. The funds were spent for our socially beneficial activities for the benefit of nature. Consider further what constitutes our social work.What we learned during the project, is that every human being has to treat our nature right. Most of the ways in which a person harms the environment develop over several years, some events can occur in an instant, but this instant will have far-reaching consequences.

Even the most insignificant human actions trigger changes in the environment. How we heat our homes, feed our electrical equipment, what we do with our garbage and what the origin of our food stuffs – all this puts a heavy strain on the environment. The temperature of the earth has increased by one degree Fahrenheit since 1975, the amount of polar ice has decreased by 9 percent in just one decade. We have caused enormous damage to the planet, much more than you can imagine. Construction, irrigation, mining significantly spoils the natural landscape and disrupts important environmental processes. Aggressive fishing and hunting can exhaust all stocks of species, human migration can introduce alien species into established food chains. Greed leads to catastrophic accidents, and laziness leads to destructive practices, so you have to keep in mind that you should never irritate the nature.

People need to realize how beautiful and self-sufficient nature is in its pristine beauty. How fragile and changeable is the living world of nature! How many varieties and bizarre forms hidden in its landscapes. How harmoniously fits into her man, who looks at this creation through the prism of love. How much inspiration can be gained from fresh breaths of air and the aroma of the forest. Harmony inside, peace and tranquility … Perhaps, in all this beauty, there is not even a noticeable moaning moan of the Earth. I can’t even believe that diseases and diseases are raging in this gigantic organism. How beautiful and calm nature. How do you want to hear her heartbeat.

We all depend on the health of our home planet. Preserving and protecting its health means the wise use of our natural resources, the restoration of the environment, which we spoil by our very existence: we deplete the soil, pollute the air and water. Most environmental crises arise from the fact that people interfere with normal natural processes, not understanding the danger that threatens them. Conservationists – environmentalists – divide all natural resources into two categories: those that cannot and those that can be restored. The first group includes coal, gas, oil, minerals, which, once spent, can not be refunded. They must be used wisely. The second includes forests, wild animals, water and land, which can be “restored” if you apply the correct methods of management. Love for nature and taking care of it begins with little: in the hike and in the camp, tidy up the garbage, watch the fire carefully, treat the trees carefully (do not cut them, do not cut the initials on the bark), teach others to love and appreciate God world. Scout laws teach you how to live in nature. But your other people’s bad habits are your concern. Due to the inappropriate behavior of one or several people, irreparable damage may be caused to nature. When giving advice and making comments to others, be always polite and sensitive. Then you will always be a welcome guest and you will be greeted everywhere with the words “Welcome!”. After our project, I had a desire to push people to love and help nature.

One of the simplest ways that I gain satisfaction from life is by dedicating my time to a cause that I feel passionate about. Community service, in particular, offers numerous opportunities for me to utilize my talents to aid those in need of guidance and extra help. I decided to volunteer for the SPCA and the Ithaca chapter of United Way because of my undying love for animals and because I cherished the tight-knit community of United Way.

Although I have partaken in numerous volunteer activities in previous years, I often found myself dreading service projects this year. Continual pressure and stress concerning my academics, my college applications, and my future heavily burdened me. I still volunteered and aimlessly rushed from activity to activity, but I did not receive the fulfillment that I hoped to find. This was when I decided to make time for one of my biggest passions: animals. Whether I am walking dogs, feeding cats, or entertaining birds, I feel radiant when I am around animals. Therefore, I decided to volunteer at the SPCA, a place I used to work at and a place that feels like my second home.

From addressing hunger and food insecurity to donating 9,600 backpacks of food to children and their families, I enjoyed every moment of volunteering at United Way. The impact that I had on the lives of these young kids and the grateful smiles that their parents flashed towards me when their children received backpacks of food for weekends and the holidays was priceless. Nothing else could match the glorious feeling I got from making a difference in the lives of these children. Furthermore, it was through my work that I reconnected with childhood friends and became inspired by their ideas for impacting the world. For instance, one of my junior high companions biked across the country to raise money to combat poverty and hunger. The ecstasy of the children I helped along with these amazing stories made my volunteer hours a worthwhile experience.

Likewise, helping out at the SPCA also allowed me to transform the lives of other living creatures. For me, this program represents one of my first experiences with volunteering and it is this fact that makes the program so special to me. It excites me to see the happiness of other people who join the program realize that they want to allocate time for more community service projects. I also felt important and satisfied because through my service, I alleviated some of the duress and discomfort of these mistreated animals.

Even though community service is designed to help others, I often felt as if I benefited more than the people that I helped on many different levels; mentally, spiritually, and characteristically. I enjoyed the balance of a diverse, yet tight-knit group that focused on facilitating the lives of others. These experiences also helped to build character and leadership, transforming me into a more patient, responsible, and flexible person. I gained an opportunity to share my talents and positive qualities with a younger generation so that I could spark their interest in becoming an asset to the community, and to me, getting this opportunity is absolutely priceless. By learning to help others, I learned to appreciate myself and my actions at a more profound level.

Although the assignment is completed, my inclination to serve others has not faded. I will still continue to help others in the community regardless of where I go. This experience has helped me to cherish my ability to influence and impact others in a positive way, and it helped me to look at community service as a benefit for myself, instead of just another obligation I have to fit into my schedule. Even though I have participated in many service projects over the last few years, I failed to really immerse myself into the true meaning of helping others.

Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my own experiences and observations I have come to support and believe my opinion on this issue. To me community service means giving back to the community, it means your helping other people. It also shows the community that the young people today have kindness and manners. And care about where they are and that they also want to live happy and in peace knowing that we can help other people and they appreciate the service we have done.

Issues with recycling are that Puerto Rico’s overall recycling rate is between 8-12 percent. The EPA and the solid waste Management Authority launched the Puerto Rico recycling partnership with representatives from local municipalities, academia, nonprofits, and business sectors to facilitate waste reduction and recycling in the commonwealth. The challenges are that there is limited disposal space and Puerto Rico has a delicately balanced ecosystem. Residents generate more than people living in the United States.

I think that if we can put in all places recycling bins and have people actually abide by a law to do it, this would help our communities and help our environment. Since Puerto Rico is so populated and people don’t care they just throw stuff anywhere without knowing how it affect us. I presume that they wouldn’t want people to just throw stuff in their homes so why do it to where you live? I have started where I live with recycling and talking to the person who administrates so that people in the house complex can recycle and help the community.

The government can also help by starting more campaigns and getting the communities to be more involved which will let us have a safer, cleaner environment. Letting kids have cleaner parks that they can enjoy, which is at least something to start by. Even though I think that this community project is bigger than what maybe is expected to write about for this essay I think is something possible to be done. I want my daughter to be able to grow up in a better environment and know how to recycle so she can help herself for when she grows up, because if things keep going at the rate they are the community/ environment will get worse.
