What COMMUNITY MAPPING means to me...

Community mapping, based on my experience, is a process by which you familiariaze a certain place and take note on the significant places by making realistic maps of the place, by means of high or low technology ways...it does not only helps us locate the significant places, but we will also know its people and how they live there...it is like seeing the place in a different perspective...

I think community mapping can be applied in my community by knowing the places and people on my place...i may not draw our place as a map, but i could also discover places by also participating community activities and mingling with people...when i discover new people, i also discover new places also, as these people may help me have a greater access to the community...

i think the goal that much appeals to me is the 1st goal...
eradicate extreme poverty and hunger....
because for me, to accomplish the other goals, we have to consider first
the needs of the people since if we prioritize the needs of people,
we can have greater power on accomplishing the other goals...
if there are many healthy people, many also can work
hand in hand in solving the problems of the world..
if we can eradicate poverty,
we can also solve other problems,because people
can now have an access in education, maternal health,
other convenience that the world offers...

what development means to me.....

Development for me primarily means a progress of a situation from a worse one to better. There is development when there is changes seen in a certain situation or etc. and development only means for the better not for worse. Example, Xavier University was just a normal school long ago but through the hardwork of its past management to upgrade the quality of education, it has reached the standard of a university. Ateneo de Cagayan is now a Xavier University, and one of the best school in the country. These example depicts what "development" means...

communication is

every where,

anywhere,

it binds people,

strengthens rlationships,

and creates changes.....
