Hello! Welcome to my blog :)

Hello, thank you for visiting my blog! It is for the first time to have blog, so I'm a bit nervous but at the same time excited!!

I'm currently studying Master of Development Practice at University of Queensland (UQ). One of the courses I take this semester is called 'Community Planning, Engagement & Governance'. It is the course I study about Community Development (CD) and have the opportunity to put what I learn in workshops into practice. I had second workshop today and it is the fascinating course!

As a practical learning process, next a few month I will work with community with the challenge of moving from private concern to public/collective action. This is the space for me to develop/strengthen connection with the community I'll be engaging with, to develop my thoughts about CD and to reflect the action process.

Although I studied some other courses about CD at UQ, it is for the first time to actually implement the project. So comments and advices are much appreciated :)

It is personal thing but it was a very special day for me. My family and friends gave me a lot of blessings and I again realised that I’m so lucky to have such wonderful supportive people around me. People cannot live by themselves and we need connection with others. I would be really happy if I could contribute to the society to make connections/build relationships that can make more people happy :)

Here my new challenge starts on my special day!

Love & Peace
