The service learning project was definitely a wholesome and refreshing experience for me.It made me realise the importance of giving back to the society in not just a solely materialistic aspect but to provide help to the needy in less tangible forms as well. By making an effort to help the needy, we show them that we truly care about their well fare and this inspires and motivates them. After the project I learnt that we shouldn't just stop at making donations, we should actively participate in helping out those who are in need. One of the best things that happened during the service learning was receiving praises from the residents that we collected rice from. One of the residents even said that it was noble of us to provide help to the financially challenged despite not being obliged to do so. This reminded me of how important my efforts were and spurred me on to make an even greater effort. The sense of accomplishment that I felt upon receiving those praises was invaluable and I would definitely remember those words in the future when i am participating in other charitable events. I am determined to continue helping others in the future. I feel that making an effort to do so is a reward in itself. Helping others is definitely something that one should not hesitate to do and i will not hesitate to do so in the future either. If every one where to provide help to those in need unconditionally this world would be a more pleasant place to live in.
