1st Community Service- Campus Clean Up



It was a great learning experience. Learnt a lot. It was campus clean up. We were arranged in groups of 3-4 students. It started on Saturday 15, 2012 from 9am to 11am on-campus. It was organized by the Junior Class of 2014. The main objective of this community service was to clean the campus. Every group was allotted different sections of the campus. Me and my group was allotted the Lee Street which is the western street along the campus and the Gorrell Street which is the southern street along the campus. We picked trash that included paper bits, cigarettes, some cards and posters etc. The important thing that I learnt from the other students who accompanied was when we pick up the trash as bottles plastic or glass make sure to drain the liquid inside because you may never know what the liquid. It can be some strong acid, alcohol, beer, juice or just water. Its better to be safe than sorry.

This project really inspired me. The reason being that the students made an individual as well as team-effort to work collectively to clean the campus where we study for the most of the time. They did it with a feeling that it was there own home. This made me responsible citizen to look up my campus as well and keep it clean. I wish to do this project on my campus in Pakistan. No funds, no license or paperwork required in this project, all what requires is a sense of responsibility to give back something to the motherland. :)
