MAKING A DIFFERENCE

 It has been a while since the last time that I actually posted something in my blog. Well life has been giving me a very hard and busy time.. Recently I have been living a monotonous life and somehow I wanted to do something out of my league and have a whole lot of experience. Then there's this group activity that I thought would give me headaches and sleepless night became the source of opportunity for giving my routinary life a whole new meaning.

It was earlier in the month of February when we were asked in our PR class to be a PR Team of a certain organization and increase its publicity to the people. The organization which my group has selected was Cebu Plus Association, this is an organization of people working on HIV response. They give off seminars, free HIV testing and other activities to the people most especially to the youth. They offer different programs one eample is the RE-YOU.  They increase the awareness of the public all about HIV. Many of us, discriminates PLHIV(people living with HIV) where in fact they are just like us. Truth is I admire how they manage to fight inspite of the challenges they have. They are actually a lot more braver than any of those who looks down on them right?

I was amazed by how dedicated the people in the organization are and it made me realize how noble they are in their works in our group activity we conducted a seminar with the help of CEBU PLUS speakers and organizers. The experience was rewarding. Although of course there were flaws and misunderstandings they were easily resolve and the likes. It was a very busy and hectic day for all of us but it was all worth it in the end. 

The activity was a fun filled and learning experience for all of us..It  was not that big of an event but deep within us, its not just a compilation to an academic activity, we were making a difference, not only to other people but to ourselves too.
