Civic Engagement Final Assignment

 Provide information about your Civic Engagement Activity (the name, place, date,
hours of time, etc). Give an overview of the event that you attended, or the volunteer
organization that you supported, including your participation / support / duties /
responsibilities / etc.

For my civic engagement activity I decided to do some volunteer work on April 5th, 2022,

well before the actual meeting some people from church and I decided to go to just serve

website for some volunteering opportunity and we chose to do some hygiene kits for the

people of Ukraine, especially for those that lost everything with this war going on there, our

goal was to get fifty kits put together, we started to ask for donations and we got much more

than we were expecting and we donate some as well, we had enough to put together 132 kits.

We made this opportunity as an activity on the LDS church that I go to assemble the

donations and build the kits, It took us almost two hours to organize and put the kits together,

I was responsible for getting some decoration ready for the activity and to separate all the

items before the other people get there. We had around 15 people coming to help; I was

opening the Ziploc bags and putting a washcloth inside of each bag for the next person to put

something else inside the bag. We were super happy to have not only met our goal but almost

tripled the goal.

 How did the event or volunteer service connect with the topic you chose? (Make
reference to course materials).

Helping people that are going through a war has been done before on world war one and

world war two and on every war before and after that, people have compassion, those that

have more or are in a better place tend to help those in need especially in a war where there is
children, pregnant women, elderly people that are fragile and need help, helping with the

hygiene kits was a way to comfort them, helping them to feel clean, human, worthy and

loved.

 Did you feel that your participation made you a more responsible citizen in terms of
promoting your own freedom or the freedom of others? If so why, if not, why not?

It did make me feel more responsible thinking on how blessed I’m for be living in USA

in a beautiful place, away from any war and thankful for the veterans that had fought for our

freedom and for those still serving the military today, keeping us safe. To use my freedom to

help others in need, to be able to work and help my society.

 Did you enjoy this experience and would you do it again? Why or why not?

I did enjoy the experience, it made me feel humble and thankful for the things that I have

and happy to be able to help people in need, I would definitely do it again if I have the

opportunity to do so. Also I realize that I don’t need to wait for a war to help people, I can

help and volunteer on my own community, which I will look for ways to do so.
