TASK 5: DATABASE

What database did you find most helpful? Which one is the most relevant for your industry? What is the most interesting fact that you have found about the industry? What are the most influential factors currently in the industry and how will those affect your entrance to the industry?

 There are many databases or search engines which we can gather enough information about the subject we want the information about or just anything and everything.  For me I get all the information from Google, like people say if you don’t know anything just Google it and that is what I do and I guess most of us do.  This time I took help from the databases such as Google, Yahoo, and Wikipedia for finding out the enough information on the industry i.e  the Social Service  industry   that I have chosen to be a part in the near future. The most interesting fact that I found out about my chosen industry is that there are more than 50000 NGOs and INGOs in our country and among them 27018 are already registered in the Social Welfare Council. It states that many donors are interested on uplifting the living standard of Nepalese people.  But if we analyze the current situation not only the donor but the youths, the corporate people are also coming in front for the betterment of the deprived people of our nation by many voluntary works. Like we say hand in hand together we can, while serving we should not think of any benefits.
The word  service means helping and not wanting anything in return.  So the motive of  social service industry  is not to make profits or  work in maximizing the profit but is to help the needy one It server the people without any expectation and uplifts them, takes needy people out of the darkness and leads them to the way of brightness. unlike other industry it do not have any competitors but alike other industry it do have the influential factor. Its threats can be considered as the influential factors such as lack of cooperation from outsiders, sustainability problem due to lack of funding, unstable government, their issues, timely changing laws, political instability. Besides all these influences the country’s political condition plays a vital role for the smooth running of the organization.

 Social work is a professional and academic discipline that seeks to improve the life and well being of an individual group or community, on behalf of those  afflicted with poverty  or any real or perceived social injustice and violation of their civil liberities and human rights. 

In simple terminology social service/ work means helping those who are in need of assistance, basically helping them when they need money for health care, food, education etc  but are not in the condition to afford it.

NGOs (Non-governmental organizations) are increasingly becoming an important force, in part because of claims that they are efficient and effective, because they are innovative, flexible, independent, and responsive to the problems of poor people at the grass-roots level. The growth of such NGOs over the past two decades has given them an increasingly important role and has led them forming a distinctive sector within civil society. They have been engaged in all sectors of social life, such as relief, rehabilitation, health, education, development programs, peace, human rights, and environmental issues, using finance raised from voluntary, private sources, and donor agencies, and managing themselves autonomously at local, national and international levels.

There are various NGO’s and INGO’s working in Nepal for the welfare and development of the socity  of the deprived people

WEEK 6

1.       From your personal experience what is the best presentation you have ever observed? What was it that made it  so memorable?  What did it inspire you to do? What have you learned from that experience?

During my university days in the United Kingdom, we had to give a presentation on scarcity, we the class of  30 students were divided  into 5 groups.  On the day of presentation the best presentations  amongst the group was the scarcity of various resources in African nations. The presentation was given by Ajibola, Natasha, Nicolia,  Mujaffar and John. We including our lecturer were very impressed by the presentation, even bought tears in our eyes because we were thoroughly touched by  the situation of the  deprived people and the way it was presented  was very impressive. We even gave them a standing ovation.

The scarcity people are suffering i.e no proper water to drink, no food to eat, risk of lives  etc. The presentation focused on these main scarcity and the peoples suffering,  after that presentation I was satisfied with what I  had with me, rather than  morning about what I don’t have.

After that video I was truly inspired to help deprived people, people in need. It doesn’t matter if a skip a lunch in a restaurant there is nothing to feel bad about it, there are people who  are not able to eat for weeks.  So from then  I  have always donated  money to save the children 5 pound a month, a little from  everyone would mean a lot to  them.
