NSTP (CWTS)

Community Outreach Program

Reflection

The best knowledge that a person can have is through experience. Human is the most special
and crucial thing that God had ever made. Every individual has an innate expandable learning
capacity that can make a person wise and proficient in every thing. This learning can be developed
as a person grow by experiencing things from every stages of life.
The National Service Training Programs specifically the CWTS is a non-academic program,
but yet part of students curriculum. NSTP is focusing only on the community service which can help
to every students in developing themselves and helping community through rendering services.
Community outreach program is one of the way to enhance access to health workers and health
services. To this end, mobilization of urban health workers to serve undeserved areas is a strategy
to improve access health to the population in rural areas.
For the whole semester of rendering services in rural area of NHA New Visayas Montevista
I have learned many things which essentially help me to develop myself and have wide
understanding of every thing. The first activity we had was the feeding program. That was my first
time to experience of feeding children, though the first day was quite tough for me, because that
was my first time I encountered a lot of children. At first I thought we could not manage to facilitate
the activity, but the patience and temper still dominate in ourselves. We had so much fun while
doing an enjoyable activity together with those children. I am proud to myself because I had
accomplished something during that time.
The second community service that was the clean up drive. It was one of my favorite part
of all the activities, because aside from cleaning the community, we also bonded with my
classmates. It was so nice that you contribute something for the environment even in a simplest
way.
The third one was the tree planting. I have already experienced this before in high school
days and even in our place. And now I experienced it again. Planting trees are very important to
protect the environment from ever changing climate. Every planted trees give so much help to our
mother earth and help saving lives. That was fun and adventurous experienced during that time.
We did not do that just for our compliance, but we did that because we want to. Although we have
very tough day of planting trees because we were all under the sun facing the heat. I thought that
we’ve just help the mother earth even in the simplest way and for we know it could change
something for everyone’s lives.
 The fourth one was the handicraft making. There is so much things that everyone might
learn. The only thing to do is give an attention and guidance to develop the skill of every individuals.
Handicrafts reflect the culture, tradition and aesthetic of artisans who create them. It draws a line
between a thing that is skillfully hand made to what is massed produces, and therefore grabs the
attention to the skill and endeavor of the skilled individual. We can share this skill to other people
and even for the children. This can help them to gain an income through selling these hand made
crafts.
And now we are in the moment of ending this community service and receiving certificates
in our culmination day. This is a lifetime experienced and learnings that we obtain in this curriculum
and we would bring this till the end of our lives. It changes our perspective in every thing and
provide us a wide understanding that makes us grow and matured enough. It gives a positive impact
to our lives. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our NSTP coordinator and to all NSTP
instructors who guide us to make this successful milestone.
