In this session contribution was one of the main values. This was seen as I contributed by volunteering to help Special Olympics. While volunteering I aided the coach in training the athletes. Contribution is an important value in society as to achieve certain goals contribution is needed and even for us to survive someone must have contributed to our welfare. For example as a baby if our parents or guardians took care of us therefore contributing to our welfare otherwise we wouldn’t be alive as we were unable to take care of ourselves at that time. Citizens of a democratic country need to be able to contribute to society by volunteering and paying taxes otherwise the government will fall due to lack of funds. Charity is a way people contribute
East Stroudsburg University hosted the 2015 Eastern Fall Sectional Special Olympics Sunday, October 5th 2015. Many different events were held at venues throughout East Stroudsburg University’s campus. The Special Olympics was organized by SOPA and campus officials. The purpose of the Special Olympics was to bring together athletes with intellectual disabilities to showcase their talent by participating and competing in their skilled event/event’s.
The acts of community service I have participated in FBLA has taught and strengthen my belief that charity is the most important gestures any person can due to have a beneficial impact in the world; is to help a person in need. For instances, our organization has collected Christmas gifts for underprivileged children in the Henry County community each year and the act of giving a child without access to toys for the holidays something as simple as a toy car has brought the greatest
Special Olympics Play Unify is a program that brings together a variety of students with or without disabilities and allows them to train and play together in various sports or activities. It is important because it helps students develop leadership skills to create an overall respectful environment for all. It helps all types of students no matter if they have a disability or not feel welcomed by anyone and feel as people understand them. By placing people with or without disabilities is creates a sense of team building.
One of the points that was brought up was that donating may potentially cause suffering to one’s self as they work hard for their money. They work hard and strive for what they want (affluence). Working a full time job in order to be broke, unhappy, and struggling like those in Bengal, for example, would be a disgrace and disappointing. Not only that, but people will also bring up the fact that if not everyone in society or in the world donates and gets away with not feeling guilty, so why should they feel obligated to so and contribute their efforts towards something that doesn’t directly affect
• Describe a time when you made a meaningful contribution to others in which the greater good was your focus. Discuss the challenges and rewards of making your contribution.
“Let me win, and if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt” The oath made by the courageous, dedicated, honorable men and women of the Special Olympics. Founded in 1968, Special Olympics showed the world that people with disabilities can be valued and respected, contributing members of society.
I have gone to only three volunteer sessions and have read lots about the Special Olympics Canada (SOC). SOC wants there to be social integration so Special Olympics offers athletes a choice, the choice to train and compete in any sport. No matter their level of disability, age, religion, race, socioeconomic status or place of origin. SOC tries to reach every Canadian community so people understand who they are and how to access their programs. The SOC staff consists of people who have a passion for the sport and who are deliciated on giving the best programs/support for all those involved to enrich their personal health and safety. Subcommittees and strong teams of volunteers strive to meet those expectations. It is reinforced that every athlete's
Over the weekend i did the last seven hours of community service at the special olympics hosted in hampton bays. During the event i helped out in a bunch of events. First, all of the volunteers lined up at the tunnel and cheered each team on running through. Next me and the rest of the volunteers took their seats for the opening ceremonies where the athletes sang the national anthem and carried out the torch. After that i went back to my tent where i would help the athletes in different events like the softball throw, javelin throw and tennis ball throw. All of the baseball players were assigned the same tent while other volunteers helped out with the 100m sprints and relay races on the track. My job was to take each athlete with a clipboard down to the place where they would throw, then record their distance where the ball first touched the ground, and then bring the athletes to the scoring tables. After bringing them to the table, i would return to the tent with the scoreboard and wait for the next athlete to repeat the process. Some athletes could throw the balls 3 feet and some could throw the balls further than some of the baseball players.
The reason that I believe that volunteer work and work in general is vital to success in the today’s world and society is because the generation that I am apart of is lack of a better term lazy.The motto of the entitled generation is procrastination is key. The most important part in forming a generation comes from the parents. The outcome of a generation’s attitude always leads back to the source (the parents). Volunteer work in present time is very important for the youth, but is equally as important for adults too. Some local organizations in Juneau are Love Incorporation, Helping Hands-Healing Hands LLC, Saint Vincent De Paul, and Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC). It is a non profit organization that provides health care for residents of Southeast Alaska. Saint Vincent De Paul is an organization that provides housing for low income families in Juneau, Alaska. Service is an essential
Volunteering Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience about three main points to be a volunteer. Central Idea: The three main points that will convince you to be a volunteer are problem that people don’t have time to volunteer, cause that most people don’t understand the seriousness of being a volunteer, and solution people feel better when they volunteer. Introduction I. Volunteering helped me get work. II.
Abstract: The Special Olympics not only give special athletes athletic skills, they offer more opportunity, encouragement, and dexterity to survive in society than the public school system alone. To understand the differences and similarities between handicapped athletes and their non-handicap peers is the first step in creating a program that best meets the child's needs. There were no community programs that catered to the mentally and physically challenged, so Eunice Kennedy-Shriver created "special games" in her back yard for her handicapped child. Shriver established the Special Olympics in 1968. Today there are more than one million special athletes competing in 140 countries. There are some problems with relying on the
Volunteerism enables students to gain the moral lesson that is vital to their life and develop their future interest. According to source 2, “community service teaches us through experience - about the relationship between empathy and responsibility, about what it takes to be part of a community, in essence, about human being”. While students are helping their community, they learn the crucial moral lessons in the most direct and impressive way. Through an actual experience of volunteering, students are reminded that it is their responsibility to serve for their community because they are a part of it. Helping without any feedback allows them to realize the power of empathy, the essential value that makes the society a
For I need to make the best choices I can, because the edges in life can be thin. I need to engage life as actively as possible, because it can be short and I must always try to do the right things in the right way. Why do we donate money, our time or volunteer? Because it’s the right thing to do. Since I was little I was taught to help people in need, to feed people that are starving, to volunteer my time for instance to help build shelters. For this case study, I would donate money to any appealing good project or cause; however, I am very aware that the money I donate; might not be allocated appropriately or be misused but that’s the risk I’m willing to take as a contributor. I want to belief people will do the right thing and use the money
We have been looking the issue of ‘acts of service’. Acts of service (helping others) are needed in our local community because some people need support within the community like financial struggles and people who can’t afford things for them self’s or their children they desperately need and people within the community are being friendly, generous, kind hearted and considerate by donating money for the struggling family or toys for the children.
Under community we tend to perceive the village, the tiny city or the residential complicated within the massive town, where lives every one of us. Every community lives its own life that undergoes a method of development all the time. And each one might participate in this development in numerous ways , for example by taking part in cleaning of the street on which someone lives, by collaborating in organization of an occurrence, connected with the history of the city or the village or by rendering social services to youngsters without parents or elderly people. The individual social responsibility additionally might be expressed in creating donations for important for the society causes – social, cultural or ecological. There are some ways of donating, as an example donating of products or donating cash through a checking account or online.
