more than just cases

Early this morning i was encoding my cases on it’s respective exhibit forms. I wasn’t able to finish it because I forgot the signatories for the cases that i’ve got during the medical mission at Mlang conducted by Maharlika Charity Foundation Inc. I searched the internet hoping that i could find the name of their chiefnurse on the foundations page. While i search Mahalika’s page, I didn’t found what i happen to seek but instead i found a video of the journey in Mlang, watched it and call me OA but this weird feeling came to me. It felt so good and so humbled that I was a part of the mission. I believe that most of us volunteered in this activity  for the sole reason of gaining cases for the completion of requirements in our degree. Yes, i admit it was also my top reason and i also wanted this as an experience in the field that’s why i wasn’t able to appreciate the essence and true purpose of the mission. After watching the videos and looking at the photos, i t came to me that it’s really more than just the cases that i could get… the mission is far more beautiful than what i expected it to be and i’m glad that I once was  a part of the mission that made a difference to the people whose lives are touched, rendering service in the spirit of volunteerism and in the service of the Filipino people :) I came and I got something beyond my purposes, it’s fulfilling and it really feels good :)
