V. REFLECTION

1. Based on your community walk assessments and CDP, what are the possible challenges that you might encounter in implementing your proposed program/project?

One possible challenge that our group might encounter is finding the enough space needed to implement the feeding program. The community we visited has a narrow area, so there might be a possibility that the people may be crowded during the feeding program proper. Another is that some residents might come back more than once, and this might lead in immediate consumption of the food prepared; other people might not be able to eat if this situation will befall.

2. What are the possible outcomes of your proposed program/project to the community? Will it be helpful?

Our group believe that the program we hope to implement will aid in alleviating the malnutrition experienced by most of the children in the community. We are also making sure that the food that we will prepare will comply to the needs of the residents in such a way that the meals contain the necessary nutritional components, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, etc. Through this, the chances of depreciating the rate of malnutrition and underweight will occur.

3. What are the difficulties that you have encountered in the preparation of your CDP for your chosen community?

Knowing that the crime rate (e.g. presence of snatchers, holdups, and drug abuse) of the areas near the community we visited is a bit high made us feel alarmed. So the assistants of the Barangay captain accompanied us during our visit. The warnings given by the Barangay officials aided us in planning well about the programs that we will implement. The allotted area where the feeding program will happen is also our priority; but this priority might be regarded as a difficulty because the safety not only of the residents of the community but also of the members of the group from the crimes must also be put into consideration.
