We had a conflict with Asociacion De Damas De Filipinas regarding their available time for the Service Learning activity we have prepared for them because they were fully booked until January. This led our group to think of a contingency plan and luckily we had an easier access this time because one of my groupmates was friends with someone from the new barangay. As soon as we have confirmed that we're allowed to change our chosen beneficiary, we gave the agno barangay (families who live in the area) a visit. They were accommodating and friendly which I am very thankful for because this made me feel that they would appreciate anything that we offer to them. We did see that one of the main problems of most of the families in the agno community is their poverty and thus we thought of ways in how to help them control poverty and little by little be able to overcome it. Education is key, if we are able to educate them on what are the possible ways they can do to save money, then that would become a long term effect in their families' ways when it comes to their money and how they would budget it. As simple as this they could give an end to their poverty. With this, we prepared a seminar based from the knowledge and research we have acquired from reliable sources and speakers. We made a script and program flow that we think would be fit for the family. I like the idea that this time, we didn't have to teach about parenting especially because parenting is something that they are experiencing and we aren't, with the case of poverty, it's something we COB students are very familiar of that's why we were able to prepare a seminar that's insightful for the families.
