Community Extension Reflections

Many have been said about nobility and lots of people are known for humanitarianism and charitable doings. It is no wonder, why it gathers attention of vast number of people easily and typifies resemblance to that certain people or groups of individual. However, in every generous deed, the big hanging question is, “the measure of sincerity?”

Though, it is factual that there is an upward trend here in the Philippines that had been said even earlier declared at the end of last year, its delightful to know that there are still people who were helping to make our country improve more to hopefully remain in the top list of tourist destination all over the world. And that includes, the couple we've met in a Community Extension we had last August. I really admired them and all who were like them because their not like the rest of them. They proved to me the real essence of charity in my own sight. Obviously, they seek out first what are the necessary stuff to completely provide the needs of their beneficiaries, not only by suddenly changing their target people’s behavior in haste, but firstly, by understanding the reason and barriers that participates in that problem by experiencing it as well by living with them. They proved the Development Communications strategy of firstly understanding merely the situation would lead into success and not just by raising awareness which really isn’t enough.

On the other hand, these days, people are ascertain of what they really believe in and thus, clever than ever before. In fact, we are now more into criticizing a certain thing even just based on what we just have seen. Blindingly, we can’t see ourselves what we look like in the mirror. Are we better than them? Have we done accomplishments almost to what they have attained? And lastly, do we really know what the real narration of the story is? Are we there? Or maybe, why couldn’t we just read minds and thoughts if only we could? -- So that, the issue would just end… but, of course, even if we were given that ability, its still much better to rely with just our intuition and suddenly, proved within ourselves that we could rely on our trust "alone" to someone and thus, the greatest part is to know that there are others whose sincere and cares for us, someone whose we feel assured that will never tear our hearts apart.
