My social service "Ohana"

For my social service my friends and I chose the foundation "Ohana" which its purpose is to participate in several events were they spend time with kids and help poor communities to recreate their homes or streets. As volunteers of this organization our role is to impulse the children to integrate the basic education principals also by doing fun activities and implement the development of human values. 

Ohana is not only involving CCU volunteers, Udem, Tec de Monterrey, CEGL and UANL are also participating. As volunteers we need to take a several training and either congress or planning meetings in which we learn how treat children correctly, medical aids and social sensitization. The organization implemented in Ohana is basically on three different categories, cultural, sportive and development workshops in which the children interact with each other. After the categories implemented, every day during the congress will have a different topic. The related topics are Ohana identity, autoknowledge, team interaction, Mexico culture, worldwide, ecology, dreams, and reality.

Each event has a different theme in which children acquired different knowledge. For example Ohana Inc. is characterized for its entrepreneurship workshops how to create your own business and the creativity process. Besides, during the event will be applied basic mathematical topics and how to work as a team.

Ohana will manage a record already approved with results and impacts from the children before and after each event. The purpose of this is to manage the progress of each participation and how can we improve next time. My first visit and interaction with Ohana will be on November 1 of 2014 in Campus Eugenio Garza Laguera and two weeks later will be participating in Ohana Inc for the entrepreneurship camp.

Social cause

October 2014
Social cause in organizations

               I have found it, since last week I’ve been searching for the right foundation or organization in which people can join to this cause. The place I chose is called Ohana which is a group in school with the mission of help poor communities and imply to the children the importance of having a better educational estrategic model and a view of life by having interactive activities and show them love and kindness, also by making the children how to build confidence and happiness in their lives.

          This year, Ohana offer several events in which students from prepa tec can participate as volunteers for this cause. Perhaps Ohana also looks for the possibility in some future to fortify the relations with new and innovated models of knowledge in public and private schools and as time goes by, try to collaborate with other civil associations by joining with other organizations in order to improve in the future. Some of this events are Ohanapoly, Ohana inc. Vive ohana, Despiertoh, Los mas sabios del tec, El tigre + sabio, Trote por un sueño and Campamento Ohana. Besides not only CCU is involved in this amazing foundation, Campus Monterrey, UDEM, CEGL, and UANL are also participating.

           The objective of this organization is not only to regenerate poor streets and spend time with children, as a volunteers we must teach them how work as team with good organization, making activities in which kids will develop educational, sportive, and artistic skills, but most important give to children a better vision of life. Besides, in some events of Ohana volunteers teach the kids about the entreperneurship and creativity in innovated business plans in which this will collaborate in the country because this children are the future of México. 

               For me participating as a volunteer is not only because will improve my academic resume, being a volunteer in this association will help my own personal leadership and gives me the satisfaction that I am helping others as a good solidary Mexican. 

In Ohana in order to participate in this events there are four types of training for volunteers. Intensive training, weekly meetings, normal congress and congress of sensibilization.
