Benefits of Community Services

There are many benefits of participating in community service, and I have listed some of the most important ones below.

Have the opportunity to help others: This is often the most important benefit of community service. Participating in it gives you the opportunity to know that you are improving someone's life and making your community better, and you get to see the direct impact of your work.

Gain hands-on experience: You can learn a lot of skills while performing community service such as construction, painting, customer service, and medical skills. You can also include your community service work on your resume.

Learn about different careers: Sometimes you can focus your community service in a field you may want to work in down the road. Some examples of this include volunteering at an animal shelter if you are thinking about becoming a veterinarian, working at a hospital if you want to be a doctor, or volunteering in a museum if you like history, designing an interior or exterior space of an elder's home in order to cheer them up if you are a designer. The experience gained from community service can help you get an internship or job in the future, and it also gives you the opportunity to see how much you would really enjoy a particular career.

Personal growth: Doing community service has personal benefits as well. It often makes participants more organized, responsible, and compassionate, which are all good qualities to have, as well as qualities that both colleges and employers like to see in applicants.

Gain new friends: A final benefit is that you can meet a lot of great people while doing community service. Community service is often done in groups, so it’s easy to make friends with the people you are working with. You may also become friends with the people you are helping, especially if you volunteer at the same place regularly.

 Where to find community service projects?

Your school/university or groups you belong to: This can include clubs, places of worship, community centers or any other organizations you are a member of. To find community service opportunities, check their website, bulletin board, or newsletter. If you are a student, your school or university may also have a community service club that makes it easier to get involved.

Places where you'd like to volunteer: If you have a specific place where you’d like to perform community service, like a orphanage, elders home, hospital or animal shelter, contact them and ask if they take volunteers.

Your community itself: You can also look for opportunities at your town hall, or similar building. Also, check your town’s website or newsletter. Many include a section that lists current volunteer opportunities.

What Is Community Service?

Community service is work done by a person or a group of people that benefits others. It is often done within the area where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, though sometimes food and small gifts, like a t-shirt, are given to volunteers.

Community service can help any group of people in need: children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, English language learners, and more. It can also help animals, such as those at a shelter, and it can be used to improve places, such as a local park, historic building, or scenic area as well. Community service is often organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, schools, university, or non - profit organization. You also can start on your own community service projects.

Some students are required to complete community service as part of a class requirement in order to graduate high school and university or to become a member of certain organizations, such as the National Honor Society. Adults also could participate in community service as a way to help others. 

What Are Examples of Community Service?

There are hundreds of ways to participate in community service, depending on your skills and interests. Some common community service examples include:

Working with schoolchildren: Tutoring children after school, collecting school supplies to donate, planting a school garden.

Working with senior citizens: Visiting residents of a retirement center, delivering meals to senior citizens, driving them to appointments.

Improving the environment: Holding a recycling contest, planting trees, creating a new trail at a nature center.

Helping low-income people: Passing out food , collecting used clothes to be donated, making first aid kits for homeless shelters.

Third Semester Final Project

HENNA MADE

Henna Made is the name of my cafe, which was my final project for the Interior Design Project 3rd Semester.
 the first phase was to do precedent studies on cafes that had Hybrid Services and I did find few interesting ones.

1st Presentation Board for the first Pin Up

The first one above is Chin Chin Laboratories in Camden. An ice cream parlour owned by two couples. 

Second one is The Clinic in Singapore designed by Architect Damien Hirst

These two Precedent studies inspired me to find a cool hybrid service that would go along with the food that was going to be served to the customers in my cafe.

And this new trendy and Arabic style henna design inspired me a lot,I thought why not have applying  henna as my hybrid service.

Later on I was wondering what could I serve in my cafe while henna is being applied to the customer's hands,feet or shoulders. While researching I found out some delicious and beautiful cakes and cookies. They didn't look like the ordinary normal cakes and cookies but ........ 

 Now doesn't that look Beautiful as well as Delicious .....!!

With the above idea  I came up with the branding products,logo and name of my cafe.

The Outcome of learning 3D MAX

The Above 3D 's were done using my 2nd Semester  Work.

An Assignment that I did during class

10 OUT OF 20

For our semester break, we were given a task where we have to sketch 20 detailing drawings based on our Interior Design Projects II Hybrid -Cafe Project. We were told to visit different cafes and sketch 10 interesting and unique built-in or loose furniture and 10 interior elements of floor, wall and ceiling.

This was good chance to go on a cafe hunting. So the cafes I visited were The Library Cafe at Sunway Pyramid, Garage 51 at Bandar Sunway, Wood and Steel Cafe and so on....

As per asked I will be posting here about 10 of my favourite sketches..............
