The difference made by service blog

The service blog made me to feel or realize that I am making difference in my community. Every time when I get into my class my, learners become so happy. They are free to ask questions and the participation is so good. At first I thought it was going to be difficult for me to teach them because teaching is not in my blood, what I like is saving lives (Bio) but am doing well. I thought that they were not going to listen to me because am not their are teacher and am so young. You know children have this tendency of that they are not going to be taught by a younger teacher  like me, but my learners took me like their are own mathematics teacher, they don’t have that tendency. Every time when I ask questions they give me answers. They even raise up hands to tell me that they don’t understand. In them I see the doctors, teachers, etc of tomorrow.

Ladies of World Disaster Management Community College at Are-fenyeng Primary doing their community service. They are loved and cherished by learners at this school. Learners cannot to wait see them in front of them everyday.
I love the reception we are getting from the principal, teachers and all the learners. Learners regard us as their teachers and give us the same respect as they give to their everyday teachers. I love the way they keep their uniform: They are distinguished in their uniform.
The school's environment is so clean that one cannot say it's a primary environment. It is these elements and many others positives that we come here everyday and give our services to these learners while we are still studying towards our Associate Degree in Emergency Management.

Our Mentoring Program is underway

THE FINAL EXAM, 2013

Honestly speaking, the exam was not that difficult as I expected it to be. We knew most of the answers to questions that appeared in that exam because had we revised all the independent studies that we did this year together as a class. I think that was the trick that made me understand more about the studies that we did. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my classmates for helping each other. Like they usual say “every finish line is a beginning of a new race”.

I admit the race has been long and tiring but it has been worth it and I can't wait for the second year which will be my last year, then I will be doing my thing at Disaster/ Risk Management Centre as qualified Associate Emergency Manager.

The Essay Writing

The emergency management essay was a bit challenging but I was very exited  to write it because I as a young and up coming emergency manager  shows that I have action plans for my community. The essay gave me a chance to  be creative and responsible about my community and it also gave me some ideas on how to plan because I know a little about planning for an emergency, especially for my community. The students were very excited about writing this essay, especially when they found out that they will be writing this essay for their community. It felt like reality and it gave me a clear picture on how to write a comprehensive document to address my community.

Know Your Place

It is common senses that everyone should love, respect, know and care for themselves before they can do so to others other people can do the same about them. It also begins at home. 
Most of the things we learn from our homes. Some we learn from school, colleges or universities. Some people like to travel to other countries so they can know more about them. Some look for the information from books, magazines, newspapers or through the internet, or any source that is available to them. Other people do so without knowing much about their own country or the place in which they live. How much do you know about your country or the place in which you live?

 We, students WDMCC, have added information about our township, Kanana, in wikipedia. You can check it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanana,_North_West. This shows that we know about our township and we encourage everybody to find more about their countries and the places in which they live.
The information on this page will not only give people more information about Kanana, it will also assist emergency managers in times of emergencies or disasters.

BOSTON MARATHON ATTACK

What happened in Boston is a huge tragedy, so many people were injured, three people lost their lives and some of the buildings were destroyed.  The Boston marathon is an international event that unites all countries but what happened tore them apart. We hope that people who are responsible for this disaster should be held accountable for the terrible thing that they did. Some people are heartless, selfish and they are ignorant because the impact of this disaster caused peoples careers. The sad part of it is that children were involved and had to witness this terrible incident, now they have to live their lives in fear.

We hope and pray that everyone gets the best medical care especially the children.
