Building Something Better: Continuation of the First Chapter
Throughout the time of the exposure, the team members gained the opportunity to strengthen and continue building the rapport from the previous immersion, not just with the community itself but also with each other’s companions. Apart from the group’s main agenda which is the obtaining primary survey, the group partook roles in integrating more in the community through active participation in annual barangay activities and offering assistance to the Barangay Health Station.
Team Lumbia’s second community exposure was not just an eye-opener but also a thought-provoking to the medical students on how to strategize in addressing health-related problems. In a span of one month, the team’s dynamics on dividing different household chores, mutual accountability on the tasks of the day, recognition of each member’s valued diversity, and having fun throughout the exposure does not just make the exposure bearable and easier but also a momentous one.
Team Lumbia in Action
BARANGAY The group attended Barangay Lumbia’s Council assembly and directed a courtesy call with them. The group introduced themselves to the barangay officials and explained the purpose of conducting health promotion activities throughout the four years of community exposure. To onward and better community, the active Brgy. Officials spearheaded by their Captain, Hon. Fidelito Ugdamina, welcomed the group and assigned different Brgy. Kagawads to guide the medical students in obtaining survey from different puroks.
The group was split into two groups as a strategy to encompass all the puroks in Brgy Lumbia, namely Purok Mauswagon, Mahayag, Lubi and Goma. The team members took this opportunity to learn the native language of the locals to efficiently communicate with them. The dialect, weather, condition of roads, long-distance walks, and the availability of the household heads in their respective homes were some of the challenges the group encountered but along the way, the Barangay Health Workers, Brgy officials and very cooperative locals guided the group to overcome the said challenges. The group went to strategic places such as workplaces, and common public facilities of the barangay to adjust to the availability of some locals.
In participation of Celebration Araw ng Lumbia 2022, the Sangguniang Kabataan Council invited some of the team Lumbia’s members to be juries of some recreational activities such as Search for Ms. Lumbia 2022 and Field Demonstration Contest 2022. The team was honored and grateful to be part of the Barangay’s successful event.
In the advocacy of pursuing healthy living condition, Team Lumbia together with the Barangay officials lead by Kap Joseph Demorca conducted weekly Barangay cleanup drive. This activity started on February 2024 as a drive for a cleaner and healthy Lumbia.
