Question

Reflect on your engagement with a community/group/team to which you belong. How do you feel you have contributed to this community/group/team? How has this community/group/team affected you?

Answer 1

I belong to a voluntary group that operates in our local community that works towards identifying and rectifying the issues that are present in the community. We also work towards creating a common platform for all the people in the community to express their views in improving the relationship between people of various backgrounds. I, as one of the members in the group help in visiting the neighborhood and identify the needs and issues in the locality and report back to the group leader who would discuss it with other members. The decision would then be communicated to the members in the locality and a survey would be taken and based on the support of people in the community, we would act further. This group has helped me understand the importance of working for the community from which deriving a sense of fulfilment, satisfaction and happiness. It helps me stay connected with the society and understand various perspectives of people.
