    activities/projects will enable the trainees to understand how the people feel,
    think, say, and behave as dictated by their conditions and situations in life as

    and that the students can do something to improve the lives of the marginalized
    and underserved.

    • Attendance in social gatherings
    • Assistance in production work
    Whom do you Immerse within the Community?
    • When one goes to a community, he/she associates with the people whom intends
    to work with as partners, allies community based service projects must be
    premised on the principle of people empowerment and not the dole-out
    mentality.
    • The parents, youth, the differently-abled constituents, professionals, members of
    people’s organizations, and other formal and informal group, and others who
    can be a potential collaborator to your project or activities.
    Conditions in a Community Immersion

    who intend or are tasked to undergo community immersion is a full
    understanding of the concepts and theories behind the dynamics of groups and

    • It is a basic rule that trainees must be well-versed with the area, skilled to
    communicate with community people and disciplined to keep yourself from
    responding indifferently towards diverse types of personalities.
