IV. Introduction

Mr. Bryan Capangpangan, NSTP Director: I warmly welcome you to the


community initiatives and events planned by the NSTP-CWTS (National Service
Training Program - Civic Welfare Training Service) at Marymount Professional
Colleges. As part of our commitment to developing community participation and
social responsibility, we have launched a number of programs targeted at positively
impacting the local community.

Our community efforts and activities are focused on four important areas: a
clean-up drive, blood donation, a plant box, and recycled bottles. Through these
efforts, we hope to promote environmental sustainability, health and well-being, and
community development.

Clean-up Mission. We understand the value of keeping the environment clean


and healthy. Our clean-up drive effort aims to promote awareness about the need of
effective trash management and the negative effects littering has on our environment.
We aim to build a cleaner and more sustainable community by conducting regular
clean-up initiatives.

Donate blood. Community development relies heavily on health and well-


being. Our blood donation initiative, in partnership with local blood banks and
healthcare organizations, encourages students and faculty to help save lives. We hope
to help those in need by donating blood and create awareness about the necessity of
regular blood donations.

Planter box. Our plant box project aims to encourage neighborhood greening
and beautification. By constructing and maintaining plant boxes in strategic locations,
we hope to improve the aesthetic appeal of our surroundings while also providing a
favorable environment for plant growth. This campaign encourages kids to develop a
sense of responsibility for nature and to value the benefits of green spaces.

Bottle reused. The recycled bottle project is dedicated to promoting recycling


and waste reduction. By collecting and refurbishing used plastic bottles, we hope to
reduce plastic waste and increase awareness about the significance of recycling. We
inspire people to embrace sustainable practices and have a good impact on the
environment through innovative workshops and educational initiatives.

Community projects and events, we feel, are critical for developing civic-
minded individuals who actively contribute to society. We seek to foster a feeling of
social responsibility in our students and empower them to be agents of good change in
their communities through our NSTP-CWTS activities.

VI. Narrative Reports

Activity 1: Clean up Drive


Date: February 18, 2023
Location: Marymount Professional Colleges

Early in the morning, a group of eager volunteers gathered at the specified


meeting spot. The organizing committee greeted us and handed us gloves, garbage
bags, and other cleaning supplies. As we prepared for the clean-up drive, the
atmosphere was tense.

We were separated into groups, with each group responsible for cleaning a
distinct region of the campus. I am deeply committed to maintaining a clean
environment. I set out determined to remove the rubbish and waste that had collected
over time. I was sorry to see so much trash as I strolled around campus. It was
upsetting to realize that our lovely campus had become a landfill. I understood,
however, that our efforts may have a tremendous impact. I began by gathering trash,
being sure to separate recyclable and non-recyclable materials. It was encouraging to
see my classmates' hard work. I am motivated, which makes the cleanup effort
pleasurable and gratifying.

While cleaning, I had conversations about the importance of waste


management and the environmental impact of our actions. I discovered that even
modest activities, like as picking up trash, might help to make our campus cleaner and
healthier. I was motivated to raise awareness among our classmates. I gathered all of
the collected rubbish and deposited it in designated bins for proper disposal after a
few hours of hard effort. The campus's makeover was astounding. What was
previously a filthy setting had been transformed into a clean and attractive space.

I gathered at the end of the clean-up drive for a quick reflection session. I offered my
opinions and experiences, expressing my thanks for being a part of such an important
endeavor. I recognized the organizing committee's efforts for their precise planning
and direction during the event.

Activity 2: Blood Donation


Date: February 27, 2023
Location: Marymount Professional Colleges

As I stepped onto the grounds of Veinte Reales National High School, a


palpable sense of excitement filled the air. The school was abuzz with energy as
students, teachers, and community members prepared for the much-anticipated blood
donation event. Being a first-time visitor to such an event, I was eager to witness the
proceedings firsthand and gain insights into the impact of this noble act.

The entrance of the school was adorned with vibrant banners, proudly
displaying messages of solidarity and the importance of blood donation. Volunteers
wearing bright red shirts greeted me with warm smiles and handed out informational
brochures detailing the process and benefits of donating blood. Their enthusiasm was
contagious, further fueling my anticipation for the day ahead.

Walking through the school premises, I could see different stations set up to
facilitate the donation process. The registration booth stood at the entrance, where
donors patiently lined up, ready to contribute their time and blood. The volunteers
behind the desk efficiently collected personal information, ensuring that each donor
was properly accounted for and screened for eligibility.

Moving further into the school, I arrived at the medical screening area. Here,
healthcare professionals diligently conducted thorough checks to ensure the safety of
both the donors and recipients. The room was filled with a gentle hum of
conversations as individuals patiently answered questions about their medical history
and underwent brief physical examinations. The meticulousness and attention to detail

demonstrated by the medical staff reassured me that the donors' well-being was of
utmost importance.

Once the screening was complete, donors were guided to the donation area.
The atmosphere in the room was both serene and invigorating. Medical professionals
equipped with sterile equipment prepared the donors for the collection process. The
sound of soft conversation and gentle laughter filled the room, as donors engaged in
friendly exchanges to alleviate any nervousness.

As I observed the donors' faces, I couldn't help but be struck by the


determination and selflessness that shone through. People from all walks of life—
students, teachers, parents, and community members—united by a common purpose,
were willing to give a part of themselves to make a difference in someone else's life.
It was a powerful reminder of the inherent goodness and compassion that exists
within our communities.

Each donor was attended to with utmost care and professionalism. The
medical staff skillfully collected the blood, ensuring minimal discomfort for the
donors. I watched as the bags filled with life-giving fluid, knowing that each drop
represented hope and a chance at a healthier life for someone in need.

Throughout the donation process, a team of volunteers provided support and


comfort to the donors. They circulated among the donors, engaging in conversations,
and offering words of encouragement. Their presence created a warm and welcoming
environment, further enhancing the sense of community that permeated the event.

As the day progressed, I had the privilege of witnessing the gratitude and relief
on the faces of recipients who came to express their appreciation. They shared stories
of how blood donations had transformed their lives, giving them a chance to recover,
heal, and continue their journey towards better health. These personal accounts served
as a powerful testament to the impact that each donor had on the lives of others.

Leaving the blood donation event at Veinte Reales National High School, I
carried with me a deep sense of awe and gratitude. The experience had allowed me to
witness the incredible power of collective action and selflessness. It was a reminder
that each individual has the ability to make a positive impact, no matter how small.

I walked away from the event with a renewed appreciation for the importance
of blood donation and a determination to spread awareness within my own circle of
influence.

Activity 3: Plant Box


Date: April, 2023
Location: Marymount Professional Colleges

I started a rewarding and environmentally conscientious project at Marymount


Professional Colleges in April 2023. The idea was to make a recycled can planter, a
tiny but significant step toward more sustainable practices. a narrative report
chronicles the process of developing a creative and environmentally sustainable
solution.

Marymount Professional Colleges, a school dedicated to excellence,


discipline, and the advancement of sustainable practices, had launched a campaign to
encourage recycling and upcycling among its students and faculty. As an NSTP-
CWTS student interested in environmental preservation, I jumped at the chance to
help.

To secure a satisfactory outcome, meticulous planning and preparation were


required. I began by performing thorough research on the process of creating a
recycled can plant box. I experimented with several designs, materials, and
approaches to find the best solution.

The first stage was to gather a sufficient number of aluminum or metal cans. I
went to many junk stores in our barrio and collected or purchased some empty
beverage cans. Through this effort, I was able to collect a large number of cans, which
served as a vital resource for my research.

I painstakingly cleaned and prepped the cans before beginning construction.


By removing any traces of labels or glue, I assured that the cans were devoid of any
contaminants that could harm the plants I would later nurture. Because each can
required thorough cleaning, this method demanded attention to detail and patience.

I began designing the plant box with a definite concept in mind. I created
numerous prototypes before finalizing the design, taking into account variables like as
stability, aesthetic appeal, and utility. I also purchased paint and a brush so that I
could color it. The goal was to build a long-lasting, physically pleasing building that
could house a range of plant species.

Then I started painting the cans and arranging them according to the pattern. I
built the planter with care. The repetitious yet contemplative procedure helped me to
become immersed in the project and appreciate the transformation of discarded cans
into something valuable.

The path of making the recycled can plant box at Marymount Professional
Colleges was more than just an exercise in craftsmanship; it was a monument to the
power of human action toward sustainability. It served as a reminder that when

motivated by passion and determination, modest steps can have a tremendous impact.
This effort promoted environmental awareness among the college community,
inspiring others to find inventive ways to recycle and repurpose things. The recycled
can planter proudly stands as a sign of our united commitment to a greener, more
sustainable future.

Activity 4: Recycled Bottle


Date: May 2, 2023
Location: Marymount Professional Colleges

On that fateful day, I stepped onto the premises of Marymount Professional


Colleges, brimming with excitement and anticipation. The event was the culmination
of an amazing endeavor: The Recycled Bottle Project. I was tasked with chronicling
the process of this revolutionary event, where the simple act of recycling plastic
bottles would give rise to something amazing, alongside a team of devoted
individuals.

The morning sun illuminated the campus as participants eagerly put up their
booths. The environment was littered with vibrant sculptures, creative furnishings,
and compelling art displays, testaments to the Marymount community's ingenuity and
resourcefulness. This day was clearly going to be about both sustainability and artistic
expression. Workshops and interactive seminars were held throughout the day,
allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of recycling. The event
promoted a culture of discovery and learning, with DIY lessons on changing bottles
into planters and hands-on painting sessions. People of all ages actively participated,
seizing the opportunity to contribute to a more environmentally friendly, sustainable
future.

One of the day's highlights was the unveiling of the community mural, which
was made collaboratively by students, staff, and even members of the local
community. This artwork represented the harmony between nature and recycling with
colorful strokes and a common vision, a visual symbol of the transformational force
of togetherness. As the sun began to set, throwing a warm glow over campus, I
couldn't help but think of the Recycled Bottle Project's enormous influence. It was
more than an exhibition; it was a catalyst for change, a reminder that every small
action we take has an impact on our environment and society as a whole.

The project not only promoted awareness about the necessity of recycling, but
it also instilled in the Marymount community a sense of responsibility. It was proof
that by pooling our collective imagination and resolve, we could turn waste into
wonder, and what was previously considered disposable into something precious and
beautiful.

Veinte Reales National High Blood Donation, Marymount Professional Colleges


Plant Box, and Marymount Professional Colleges Recycled Bottle. These experiences
and insights have come from these activities.

To begin, the Marymount Professional Colleges Clean-up Drive was an eye-


opening event for me. It made me realize the consequences of garbage and pollution
on our ecosystem. Seeing the amount of trash we collected and the effort required to
clean it up made me more conscious of my own activities and the necessity of keeping
our surroundings clean. It also emphasized the importance of community involvement
in maintaining a clean and sustainable environment.

Second, the Blood Donation activity at Veinte Reales National High was a
significant and fulfilling experience. It allowed me to help save lives and improve the
well-being of others. The process of donating blood was nerve-racking, but knowing
that my contribution could potentially help someone in need made it all worthwhile. It
also made me realize the need of regular blood donations in preserving enough blood
supplies for medical situations.

Following that, the Plant Box activity at Marymount Professional Colleges


provided an excellent opportunity to participate in environmental protection. We were
not only beautifying the campus but also fostering biodiversity and creating a better
environment by planting trees and flowers. It was rewarding to see the good effects of
our efforts on the environment. This practice helped me better grasp the role that
individuals may play in environmental sustainability.

Finally, the Marymount Professional Colleges' Recycled Bottle initiative


emphasized upcycling and waste reduction. We reduced waste and promoted
recycling by turning plastic bottles into useful or decorative things. This activity
addressed the significance of recycling and coming up with inventive solutions to
lessen our environmental impact. It also emphasized the ability of commonplace
goods to be transformed into valuable items via innovation and ingenuity.

Overall, these NSTP-CWTS events have been beneficial to my learning.


They've increased my understanding of environmental issues, community
involvement, and the value of giving back to society. I've realized the importance of
individual acts in improving the environment and the well-being of others. These
activities have inspired me to continue participating in community service and
environmental efforts outside of the scope of the NSTP, because I now realize the
power of teamwork in building a better future for all.
