I am not biology or any medical student, as I undertook this
activity. It is just that I like providing a helping hand to people. I love to
help people because it gives me immense pleasure and happiness when the other
people are happy. As planned we were going to provide our help as volunteers at
a local medical check up camp organized by the Nagarjuna Medical Trust, at a
local society in the city. Mrs. Preeti Mesharam, one of the doctors in the
medical camp is a specialized eye surgeon. I was given the duty along with my
classmate Shafqat, to provide a helping hand to Mrs. Preeti Mesharam at the
point where she had been performing the eye checkups. Different doctors were allotted
different rooms to perform their checkups.
The check up was conducted by the
trust for the residents of the society and was free of cost. We had to assemble
all the people who were coming for the check up according to their form number
and name outside the check up room and call them one by one whenever their form
arrives. Many a times people were getting annoyed by the delay that was
happening as there were a lot of people who had come for the check up and it
was getting difficult to handle so many people at a time by just the two of us.
For our help we called our friend stanis as he was done with his volunteering
and was ready to help. Through this activity we learnt a lot of new things and
we reflected on many of the CAS learning outcomes that we need do during the
CAS program. The learning outcomes I achieved through this activity included
working collaboratively with others, showing perseverance and commitment on the
activity and also engaging with a social and issue of global importance.
