Here, to write about Civic engagement and reflective assignment, I have chosen one topic that includes helping improvised children and their family to reduce the impact of poverty and hunger in the society.
This topic we have selected as Poverty and hunger are big problem and threat to society. We should combat such issues and understand how such poverty and hunger comes in society, what are the remedial actions and preventive actions that can be implemented by us, here, we will be working on various cases and do interaction with various people, family members and finally we will take such initiatives that could resolve the problem associated with poverty and hunger in both short term and long term.
We have selected team members of 10 people those came from localities and they all are enthusiast, other than their regular job, they want to put their valuable time in such social works and civic engagement assignment.
Next, we started discussion on this topic, we worked on brainstorming that brainstorming could be individual and group made. Finally, we performed various surveys in the society and we tried to understand how we can combat such issues of poverty and hunger.
The surveys were conducted by including several questions like how many people are in the society living without food and shelter. How many people are not engaged in the Job? How many children available in the society? Whether such children go for education, go to school daily; get nurtured with foods and basic needs? What are the common problems are available within the society? How such problems are impacting our society? We also check sex ratio; look at the skills of various adult people.
Knowing the result through performing survey, this will help us to know entire demographic figure of the society and psychological needs of the people. We can later work on various initiatives to contribute towards eliminating such issues. Here, we require various commitment, these are like Funding help, engagement of enthusiast people, creating various initiatives and activities, build infrastructure, generate job where people can engage. We also need to keep more emphasis on development of children. Such work would include giving them foods, education and gifts. That can help children to engage for study. Children also can be engaged in playful activities.
We will perform the assessment every month and quarter basis to understand how we have contributed to reduce hunger and poverty in our localities at least in the short term. We will keep various long term initiatives like infrastructure development, Job creation and engage people in superior works that can help us to combat the current issues.
