Servant leadership

It is quite encouraging and motivating when you interact with people in the society and feel your presence appreciated. Meeting and mingling with people who are less fortunate and see them smile with love is fulfilling. Here you realize that the world needs us to be there for each other. At times it is not the financial requirements or material things that bring happiness; our services, our compassion, and mindfulness. Talking about being there for our community, I realized that we have being faced with serious problems brought about by plastic bags. They are scattered almost everywhere. The beautiful gardens are no longer attractive. Flowers and trees have been covered by different colors of plastic bags and the wind blows them everywhere. I felt something needs to be done about the bags everywhere. I felt challenged and decided to do a deep search on some organizations dealing with such pollutions. It was here that I learned of the Take Three Movement. The organization deals with reducing plastic bags pollution in the cities. They believe that even the smallest groups on the street can change the face of this world. It encourages people to start from where they are. In fact, they do not want you to do much. Just pick three plastic bags and dispose of each day. To nurture my servant leadership skills, I believe this organization will offer the best experience as well as enabling me to do good to the society.

I intend to join this organization and start my volunteer services right away. It may not be the case of just picking little rubbish like three plastic papers, but I intend to go further and form a group of like-minded individuals within our locality. In the morning, we will do some street cleaning up. Our willingness and devotion will make it a success. After some time people in the region would realize the impacts of my volunteering and am expecting to be joined by several other volunteers. At this point, my servant leadership skills would have a good impact on the community as well as giving me the best experience and preparation for future bigger tasks. Take Three organization is based in Australia but its membership is open to everyone regardless of their location. It is headed by Tim Silverwood who is the co-founders as well as the CEO. After the start of my volunteer services, I do not intend to quit at any given point. I will persist and expand the services to the neighboring areas as our group grows. My expectation is to have a clean environment free from the nuisance and pollution from the plastic bags. At least people will see the importance of leading by example and not by authority.
