What Personal Gains from Community
Immersion
The community immersion aspect of NSIP will be able to
benefit not only the communities served but more so the
student-trainees who may be accorded with the following
advantage:
5. develop their conscientization ability. it helps them realize issues that will
help solve problems in the community. it is important for them to do
something that can change their situation. acquire first-hand experiences in
dealing with community work; and the
6. chance to learn life skills that will enrich and better their persons. Succinctly,
community immersion improves the trainees understanding ot himself in
relation to others. And by understanding others, the trainees can be able to
give a part of himself to help others.
3. Familiarize yourself with the basic information and theories regarding community life.
4. Never forget to inform and get the consent of your parents/ guardians about the activities lined
up.
5. Be courteous to everyone-whether to a vendor or a community official. Remember that you
are there to
work with the community.
6. Do not go directly to the community without determining the background information about
it.

8. Bring your own personal provisions like water, snacks, and extra shirt. These will be helpful to
fill in those hunger pangs while conducting the immersion.

the community to help. Just bring an extra white shirt if you have to change your soiled uniforms after your
activities.
10. Validate and evaluate if the programs and activities were conducted appropriately and as
planned.
