Last September 15, my group and I visited Assocacion De Damas De Filipinas, our chosen community for our CSRGOVE outreach project. This non-profit organization aims to house children (ages 6 and below) to help the children grow as holistic persons and develop their personalities while also being God-fearing, all done with love, nurture and care.
I personally thought that in order to maintain the mission and vision of the orphanage (as stated in their website) There should be improvements in their facilities. We saw that the place is getting old and that it isn't anymore as suitable as it should be for children to be comfortable in. At the same time, when we asked the head of the place what were their main concerns, they said they needed the parents to be more participative in their children's activities. Later on, we were able to give solutions to these problems after we have discussed the current situation in our group.
This visitation made me feel blessed because I never had to experience how it was like to be in an orphanage because my parents took care of me fully. All these made me realize that my parents have always worked hard in order to sustain a good lifestyle for us, their children. Lastly, it made me also think that this CSR activity will improve me as a person because I really do want to be able to help people in my life, it's one of the things that I look forward to doing when I'm already working and the best part is, with this CSR activity, I understand that I can already start doing it now.
