Share ko lang gorl

Posted by Tris_AnneD on 18 February 2020 in English.
 Good day! I am an English Major from PUP San Juan. And I would like to share my experience on Mapping schools as part of our CWTS course subject. Are you ready? Okay, here goes.
 I never understood how Mapping schools can be a method to volunteer to our community. But when it was explained to us, I had a clearer view of why it is necessary to do, adding the fact that it was just weeks after the Taal Volcano eruption occurred, it helped me see things from a deeper perspective; and that this is not a mere waste of time. Participating in this activity would not only help to locate areas during disasters but it will also help the government locate which areas are struck immensely by certain tragedies. It is a gratifying experience truly to help our community in our own little ways. I really enjoyed a lot. I encourage you to take time volunteering on this activity. Who knows, we might encounter each other. :)

That’s awesome! Wouldn’t it be wonderful when you finally become a school teacher and you end up in one of the schools you helped mapped in OSM?

Thank you for your effort. We look forward to seeing you contribute again soon.
