Doing something beneficial to the society and deceased people

                Our IB classes and other school students collaborated and did something great. We saw a problem that in autumn, when the leaf fall down, most of the public spaces aren’t cleaned, especially the graveyard in Antakalnis. Hence, we decided to contact them and agree on our participation in the clean-up of the graveyard. It was done on a Saturday morning and during the day we managed to gather most of the leaves in the graveyard and it really made it look cleaner and more appropriate to the dead people graveyards.

                I saw a great importance in this event, since we need to take care of these kinds of public place. The environment of graveyards should be as clean as possible to ensure that we give our respects to the deceased people and I would say it was my main aim. During the whole activity I worked as actively as possible and with the good teamwork of our group we managed to do the hard work.  The whole process was not that challenging physically, but one thing was hard to do. The area of graveyards had also many leaves on them and the problem is that it’s not ethical to step on them, thus I had implemented hard work in order to clean them without doing that. We done a few things to make it possible and I am glad that we had succeeded to do that.

                This activity really benefitted the Antakalnis graveyard because not only it was more appealing to the visiting relatives of deceased people, but also, as I said, we showed our respect to them and in doing that we showed that it’s an important thing to go. I hope that I will have this kind of an event in the future or even organize one, since it’s one of the things that helps to make our society and surroundings better and it was a great experience to have. The feeling of doing something beneficial is no of the best in the world.
