Mountain Province Risk Reduction and Management (2021-2022)
Jameal’s Experience: As a Geologist who recently witnessed first-hand the onslaught of Typhoon Rai (Odette_ in December 2021, getting to apply geological knowledge to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) with Mountain Province was an achievement. My experience volunteering for GISCorps cultivated my outlook on contributing to a social environment that nurtures the wellbeing of all – mainly through Disaster Risk Reduction. As a Geologist, I live with values to serve for the benefit of humankind. Because of volunteering with GISCorps, my perspective of being a scientist has developed. Being a scientist is not just about doing novel research, publishing to highly reputable journals, or receiving a Nobel Prize. Fulfillment is the best word I can use describe to the experience I had working with Mountain Province as a GISCorps volunteer.
Why Jameal Volunteers: As a Geologist, I live with values to serve for the benefit of humankind. Volunteering with GISCorps opens doors for me to reach people in need and share my admiration of our world and science. In line with Mountain Province’s commitment to Sendai Framework DRR (2015-2030), I join the call to help out when needed – champion the role of geology in Sustainable Development.
