Habitat For Humanity

149 Words1 Page

I 've always considered all community experiences, clinical or nonclinical, to be meaningful; if not, I don 't think there would not be much of an actual desire to participate. While I cannot say which is more meaningful, I can discuss my most recent experience within the community which involved working with the Habitat for Humanity. We spent a majority of the day meeting and greeting the community; throughout the day we distributed food, participated in games and various activities. It was a memorable experience witnessing how both adults and children interacted and aided our efforts, ultimately, reminding me of the close knit community that I grew alongside. This experience itself was very meaningful as it highlighted the benefits and

    When I was a freshman, I went to was an event called Winter Rage at Clackamas High School. It was a day where the school collected donations of food, clothes, toys, and basic items for families in need around the community. The day of the event required hours of set-up and packaging. When families arrived, it was very heartwarming to see the smiles on their faces as they received enough food and warm clothes for the winter season. I was in charge of handing out toys and Christmas gifts to children and families.

  • Salvation Army Food Bank

    The systems we have put in place to ensure individuals and families do not fall into destitution often fail to do the job; with people struggling without the necessities of life for too long (HungerCount, 2014). Therefore, the Salvations Army food banks can be seen as a Social Economy institution for many reasons. J.J. McMurtry argues that the Social Economy is based on the community and the individual. He says "people participate in the social economy-not to be non-profit or non-state per se, but to actually make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of other, to build community of one sort or another" (J.J. McMurtry, Pg 30). Salvation Army food banks are predominantly made to focus its attention on communities.

  • Civic Engagement Activity

    The Civic Engagement Activity that I choose to participate in was volunteering at the Madera County Library. My Civic engagement took place in my community library and I volunteered there for four days, which were the 15th, 20th, 22th, and the 23rd. The Madera County library provides its community with numerous services that have many benefits to them. I believe that volunteer service for this organization is important because it is a service that can be utilized by the community members and it is beneficial to have. The County Library does not have many employees, which means that they do not have time to do certain things during the day, and that’s where the volunteers come in handy.

This allowed me to witness how the different types of therapy fit together and how the therapist would collaborate to find the best way to treat the children. My favorite part was finding ways to communicate with the kids.

    Volunteering is very important; it is both vital to the people receiving aid as it satisfies their needs, and it is important to those administering aid as it gives them joy and helps them become better people. The reason I volunteered for St. Margaret 's Fair was so I could finally stop sitting around and get to work. When I saw the opportunity to do something important, I grasped at it; I selected the ring toss game was because I felt it would be fun and important. I do believe my job at the St. Margaret 's Fair was very important as it both collected money for those in need and, at the same time, instilled me with a love of volunteering. The purpose of the fair was to collect money for humanitarian efforts in the local area.

    The situation at the homes of the children also varies – some come from orphanages and others from loving families who accompany them to the hospital. Why is helping other people my passion? It is hard to explain, but essentially I want to be useful to the society, especially to the children who are in desperate need of attention. Coming back home from a long day at the hospital with plenty of emotions, thoughts and plans for the future feels incredible. Due to that, I wonder – do I give more or do I receive more by being a volunteer?
