Going to do the community service, at first it’s interesting. What we going to get? What will be the fun experiences? But, later there are many priceless experiences from people around and staffs in Ban Din Thai. The fun experience come along with memorable experiences with my friends and teachers. The true meaning of doing community service is not only doing good deed but caring about what we do. The community service does give me a lot learn, a lot to share, a lot to enjoy.
The learning experiences at Ban Din Thai can not be describe in words. The memory that stuck in your head but the still feel the freshness of the memory. I’ve learn about doing community service is not a good deed if one didn’t understand actions and points of doing the service. I have learned that nothing will be better if I will never change my attitude and behavior. I think it was the chance to change into someone or something better. I would like change my attitude all along, I think I have it changed a bit. I was all about community service.
It has massive effect on my life because I always thought that planting trees is good. I learned that it’s not good enough. The forest and tree should be able to grow by them self. Trees should be panted by birds. The forest should be created by the animals not us. We should only take care about the environment. Trees are as important as water. Water should be saved. Checked dam we did is not only to slow down the water but also to be able to let the soil next to the stream be able to keep the moisture.
All of those experience in the tent is wonderful. I have realized that the weather is abnormal which is the sign of global warming. The environment is turning into something like dessert. It was very cold at night and unbelievable hot during the day. The staffs even show us footprints of animal are nearer to the dam and salt lick we made. We should be able to understand the process of the environment around the area to know the situation. So I think it’s great to have staffs who give us information and lesson about the environment in thailand. It can be said that it’s priceless lesson of the wood.
Community services trip should meet the slogan of The Green Share Club ‘Give. Learn. Share.’ We should be able to give. Learning is very important too because learning experiences will be a good memories to share the content with other. The whole point of community service to me is the opportunity to learn something outside and really get the idea into actions and share that to inspire other to start doing something to make things better too. Being able to learn is to give and really understand the true meaning of giving and the whole learning process will be easier. This community service trip is so inspiring from the staffs to the finished work.
Community service should be more than doing good stuffs. Doing good stuffs might be community service but for me it also should be eye opening. It should be something to be able to talk and passed the story on to other to inspire them. I can understand the true meaning of being learn and inspire.
