My sleeping
position caused muscle pain and that woke me up around 6:18 am. This day I woke
up late. However,I immediately prepared myself for another say of learning as
an OJT. Around 8:00 am we went to the
activity area where we bring with us hundreds of calendars which will be
distributed after the activity. Participants from every barangay came. Tha
participants were the chieftains of the IP (Indigenous Pople) and IMPR.
Attandance, registration and greetings were the first scenario.
Together with
the team, we prepared the area. We started to post the visuals. People kept
coming in. When everyone was settled, my teammate started to talk and did the
preliminaries followed by the introduction and finally the presentation of
PORAS (Peoples Organization Rating Assessment System). In this activity, our
task was to assess them. We need to identify what is the present status of the
organization, how they do it and what are the things to improve as an
organization.
At first,
participants kept on raising concerns. They kept on raising their hands while
our Team Leader thoroughly explained the objectives up to the first part.
Things were clarified as to what are the purpose of the assessment. As the
activity progresses, participants became more vocal and inquisitive. They kept
on asking questions and pushed their notions. The discussion became out of
pace. The speaker then explained and reminded the participants. Together with
the project manager, Maam Mila, who was present during the activity, helped us
emphasize the true meaning of the assessment.
I learned that
an organization should know what is its status, what are the things an
organization should have. One of the most discussed topic was the Mission,
Vission and Goal of the organization that have been debated by the members as a
long due issue. I also appreciate how the team leader, Maam Ruth, emphasized
the main purpose of the activity.
