Service Learning: Corporate Social Responsibility

As a person who is consistently doing a morning exercise at the park, I become familiar with other individuals who performed morning exercise as well. Some of them joined the aerobics. These people are mostly on their 40’s. There are also few young people who performed Arnis.

Doing a jog in the morning is also my way to free my mind from stress or thinking too much. So I came up to consider health as my proposed issue in my community. For me it would be easier to propose a program especially if the people involved are open minded in the particular issue.

However, these people I encounter every day is not the reason why I decided to take Health as my propose issue for my CSR.  The reason why I chose this was because of our neighbor who has a small grocery store. She is a petite woman at her 40’s. She assists me whenever I need to buy something. Until one day, I have notice she no longer in the store to assists the buyers. I just found out that she had a stroke. I know if someone can only pay attention to her condition, she can easily recover. So I thought if there would be an organization who would aim to help community members on their recovery, it would be a huge help for the family members of the patient. 

To provide a right proposed plan in my community, it is a requirement to assess the community’s need in this kind of program. Knowing the health condition rate of my community is a must and until now this is what I’m still trying to arrange with the people in-charge in our Barangay.
