G. four general phases of basic community development/organization work(andres, 1994) 1.issue/problem identification and information dissemination *This is the phase where real needs are distinguished from felt needs; rapport is established, and face to face interaction with people is made. in this phase, opinions are elicted and information is dissemenated. 2.mobilization of people /community *In this phase, people are stimulated to come together to discuss problems.Meetings are called to identify community problems; to set objectives , and plan and implement action. In this phase, potential leaders are identified and committee work is stimulated. 3.organization *This is the combination of constructive forces of men and materials, machinery and money, so that these may work together in an orderly way, to turn out finished goods for profit, or render services to the community. 4. education *This is the phase where the members of the community are educated to assume responsibility for thier organization and to acquire the organizational skills and techniques essential to organization maintenance. H. qualifications of a community development worker (andress, 1994) 1.he/she has demonstrated potentials for community development work. 2.he/she has demonstrated professional commitment,direction, motivation and maturity as manifested in his/her work history. 3.he/she willing to understand and respect the values and culture of people. 4.he/she has the genuine intention of sharing whatever goods he/she has with his/her fellowmen. I. guidelines for community workers (norman, 1998c) 1. work with the poor and oppressed, not for them. help them to understand, analyze ,plan and carry out their developmental/project. but do not do for them. they have the right to reject expert advice and to make mistakes. development comes from w/in a peoples own understanding of their needs and rights. So they must decide the major issues and the basic needs and how to tackle them. 2.Development is an awakening process. development is a way in which people see themselves and awaken their right to live as human beings.w/out thi awakening, there is little that the animator can do or should try to do, The people are intelligent and have mush experience. Draw out their strength. Listen to them. 3.Let the people grow. development is building up the people, so that htey can build a future for themselves. Development is an experience of freedom as people choose what to do. It is a difficult experience for those who have lived in dependence and w/out hope for a long time. Deciding and doing something bring dignity and self-respect. Development efforts should, therefore, start w/ the peoples potential, and proceed to their enhancement and growth. 4.Build the peoples solidarity. development occurs as liberated people build together w/ other people, in solidarity. As oppressed people, moving into freedom and oppotunity can either make them become selfish and oppressive or place them into relations of solidarity w/others ,sharing and caring for one another , and marching together towards a new society in which their own full humanity is assured. 5.Build up the peoples organization. people must carry out liberating activities which keep their local community free from exploitation. they must establish links w/other groups and w/ national coordinators in order to increase their bargaining power, and make it possible to participate more widely in the struggle for a new society. group 3 eto poh ang photocopy nah re2port natin sa monday,, copy nyo nlang poh and review nyo nlang guiz.
