We should all jump at the chance to "give back" to our community. Not because doing so will get us recognition, or even so that we may have a sense of self fulfiment (well maybe a little..haha), but we should "give back" to our community, because it is the right thing to do, because it keeps our planet clean (allows us to live just a little longer). Of course giving to your community doesn't necessarily have to be "going green", it could be anything. it could be posting up signs and going door to door to help raise awareness about not letting little kids out on their own past a certain hour, for their own safety.
I've given back to my community by cleaning up the kids park. It might not sound like alot, but trust me it was pretty bad. There were beer cans everywhere, pee stains on the slides, and im pretty sure there were a couple potty stains (now i'm just being hyperbolic but you get the picture), the point is it was bad. and the kids that used to play in the park didn't care how it looked, didn't care that it was unsanitary, and what was worst, is that it was apparent their parents didn't give a damn either. Alot can come from cleaning a community park. For example while cleaning the park a couple of my friends decided to help raise awareness for child hygene. Cleaning that park was fun, and beneficial (service hourss!). What are you doing to help Your community?
Thanks for the comment :) good job giving back. Volunteering with friends makes it more enjoyable hopefully we will all have fun at MLK.
ReplyDeleteTry again with the title...lol..anyway that seemed like the perfect project for you because your such a germaphobe. In all serious what you did has a huge impact on those kids. They could catch some serious diseases from playing in those environments. I hope to see do more of those endeavors....not just for community service smh.
ReplyDeleteI perform an act of community service every day, just by throwing away trash and recycling when I can.
ReplyDeleteThat's good that you did that for the kids. Good blog.
