Well, I was clueless what is community service and I didn’t care on investigating on it. Well, community service is the job you do for the community and it is for FREE – I know you probably think that is crazy but it is reality, you don’t even get a cent – because most of the people of the country don’t care about community service, thus most NGO ask for fellow South Africans help – the Department of Education has asked every school in the country to try promote this, thus if you are in grade 10 you will be soon doing it for your LO mark.
The Grade 10’s of Grey College had to go to an NGO, to offer volunteer work. It was for marks; so if you hate dirty work or having to clean or organize badges in order then your in for hardcore hell. However, me and my group member – Khanya, Mark and Thembi – choice a specific NGO established by the Seven Day Adventist Church; the name of the NGO is ‘Meals On Wheels’ it was found in the late 1990’s – I don’t have the full information – in East London, Eastern Cape. This organization service meals to the local community, what we had to do was to pack heart badges to their colour-coding; there were 10 colours and 200 000 of them but we managed to pack 15 000 in 3 hours.
This NGO sales these cards for R10 and with the money they donate a meal to poor communities. In the past years they served close to 90 000 000 meals to the community. “… Guys you have done a good job and I am sure the cards will serve South Africa well, we are proud of you'” said Drina, the director, of the NGO. However, we are happy that we did the work. Thus, if you want more information go to www.MOWS-SA.org.
