Service
Learning Venue: Saint
Nicholas Monastery
Arranged Service With: Mother Andrea
Address: 1340 Piney Road
North Fort
Myers, FL 33903
Describe the
Activity: This
beautiful Monastery sits on an eleven acre property which is said to be messy
due to the rainy season. My group and I would pick one area and try to clean it
up the best we can so that when winter comes they will have that particular
area under control. There is a large field that needs to be cleared of weeds,
and they need help processing beeswax. If we can fix up this environmental area
they will be able to create their Bible Herbs Garden.
Are
you working in a group or alone? I will be working in a
group with my fellow classmates, Taylor Wade and Makenzie Hanle.
How
does this schedule fit into your schedule? I
have a busy schedule due to FGCU softball. This schedule will fit as long as I
am working on Wednesday mornings, Thursday and Friday evenings, or on Sunday.
Even though I have limited time slots available, I will do my best to serve the
environment during any hour that I am free. I am fortunate that Mother Andrea
stated that the days are flexible for them and they are willing to work around
my schedule.
How
will the service benefit the organization you serve? Saint
Nicholas Monastery is Christian Orthodox and they value giving the word of the
Lord. They are trying to create an environment that is beautiful and full of
life, including a Bible Herbs Garden. Our service to this organization will
help tremendously, especially during this wet season. They are in need of
nature clean-up and the creation of a garden. We can help them complete their goals
faster and be one with the environment.
Will
this service enrich your understanding of the material covered in this class?
How? This service will most definitely enrich my
understanding of the material covered in class. It will also follow along with the
goals and outcomes for this course. I will gain a sense of place when I am out
in the eleven acre property filled with different ecological features that I will
be fixing and cleaning. I will be analyzing Southwest Florida while I am
providing my service, and I will see some of the environmental challenges that
organizations face with the wet season. I will develop my own eco-friendly
perspective and help my community in doing so. The services that I will provide
for Saint Nicholas Monastery will enrich my learning and understanding of Colloquium.
Other
comments, questions, concerns? I am excited to start this service learning
project and help the environment to the best of my ability with some of my
friends.
