It receives donations from various sources and makes it freely accessible to the needy people.]]> 2017-08-05 16:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180172924 https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180173580    My task was to collect the donation boxes from the dropping area and sorting the items in the boxes. I also had to separate the items which were in good condition and carry those to the different departments. Apart from that, I also had to take food packages delivered by various departmental stores and people from dropping area to the pantry.  I chose this organization because it was nearby my sister's apartment and it has flexible hours schedule.]]> 2017-08-05 16:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180173580 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180175945 I think the project has great influence on the society. It's working on providing free services to the people who can't fulfill their basic needs due to financial difficulties. For example, many of the students living nearby are getting support from this organization if they can't afford to buy their necessities, such as reading tables or kitchen appliances. Thus, it's creating a good social relationship with people, also making them aware of their social responsibilities.

It helped me understand more about the community service and its benefits.  It was also challenging because I had to stand whole time outside in the sun, waiting for the donation boxes, carrying those to different departments, which was very exhausting.]]> 2017-08-05 18:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180175968 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180175974 The two days program affected me positively. It built up my confidence level on interacting with the new people. Further, it helped me realize my responsibility towards the community.]]> 2017-08-05 18:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180175974 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180213431 During the project, I had to interact with different people and work with them, which improved my interpersonal skills. These skills are essential for achieving good results in an academy. For example, in English course, we have to communicate with readers through our book and movie review and essays. Sometimes, we also have to complete group task or assignment.  This kind of service learning projects can help us work well as a team.]]> 2017-08-06 23:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180213431 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284292 One of the departments I worked with...]]> 2017-08-07 16:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284292 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284510 The boxes in which I had to sort the items.]]> 2017-08-07 16:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284510 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284634 The van with the donated items]]> 2017-08-07 16:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284634 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284922 Spend most of the time working here... ]]> 2017-08-07 16:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180284922 rajitakarmacharya https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180285122 2017-08-07 16:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rajitakarmacharya/t79qlec0cv9s/wish/180285122
