    My firsthand health related volunteer experience happened when I joined the Home and Community Club at my university. Our club mission was to seek out volunteering opportunities to help our community and the rural area communities in need with educational, cultural, and environmental support. During the summer break in 1999, our club had engaged in a significant and meaningful project to volunteer in delivering some basic health care services and training to Hmong villages in Chiang Mai. In Thailand, hilltribes are among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of society.Their living conditions were still substandard and insufficient in many respects, due largely to geographical isolation and communication barriers. They lacked access to basic social services, including education and health. Through this project, I had a chance to work with the Department of Public Health medical mobile teams to provide some basic health care services and training to hilltribe people. The main responsibilities for us, volunteering students included assisting the government mobile medical teams with documents and clerical works, educating and training the hilltribe people about the nutrition, the sanitization, and the basic health routine and maintenance so that they could be empowered to better understand how their everyday activities affact their personal health. This opportunity to work along side with the professional medical teams really inspired me and strengtened my passion in helping people and making a diffence in people’s lives. Afterthat, I had participated in several other volunteering activities to help enhancing rural livelihood.…

    Initially, main thrust for development was laid on agriculture industry, communication, education, health and allied sectors but later on it was realized that accelerated development can be provided only if governmental efforts are adequately supplemented by direct and indirect involvement of people at the grass root level. Accordingly, on 31st March 1952, an organization known as Community Projects Administration was set up under the Planning Commission to administer the programmes relating to community development. The community development programme inaugurated on October 2, 1952, was an important landmark in the history of the rural development. This programme underwent many changes and was handled…
