Community Services
Community service, as the name suggests, is the service performed by an individual that benefits the society. It enables individuals to acquire life skills and knowledge, while providing a service to those who need it the most. Giving back and assisting others is the basis of community service or volunteering.
There are many forms of such a service like donating clothes, providing food to the poor, planting trees and helping to keep public areas clean. It can also be offered by volunteering at local hospitals, churches, fire stations, clinics and schools, as well as other public or private organisations within the community.
3E Worldwide's mission is to reach out to the community and provide programs that meet their needs. 3E has worked with more than ten non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to create lesson plans and teach English to school students, visually impaired and hearingimpaired children, and to organize and perform activities in elderly homes, among other things.
IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE
The importance of community service is experienced in the way it connects us to the community by improving it and making it a better place for everyone to live in.
It gives us the chance to improve life skills, such as communication and organisational skills, teamwork, planning, problem-solving and task management. It broadens our horizons by helping us understand the needs of the society that we take for granted sometimes.
Community service is a great way to make a difference in our extended social circle and to strengthen it from within. Furthermore, it fosters an increased sense of social responsibility. It helps individuals develop a value of self-worth by touching other lives.
Those who help others in need engage in a noble act that helps them in turn too. In case of students, it is important as it facilitates them to mold themselves as active members of society which can reflect their character in their college resumes at a later date. Whereas in case of general individuals, it gives them a sense of direction and soul satisfaction. Those who are benefitted from the service, like the elderly and others, tend to receive a new perspective of life.

When we perform a selfless service on a small scale, it has a ripple effect. Those who have been helped are likely to "pay it forward" and help others. This allows the future generations to become more socially aware and work towards the sustainability of the environment.
Community service helps in establishing a healthy atmosphere filled with unity, harmony and friendship. A united society will eventually help get rid of social differences, provide relief to the poor and assist in environmental sustainability.
