PROJECT DURATION
The different activities in the said project will be presented through the Gantt Chart below.
Venue: Tebeng Elementary Gymnasium OBJECTIVES
The general purpose of the month long project is to provide training about livelihood activities to develop the skills and capabilities of an unemployed individual in attaining such financial independence through self-management which will mainly serve as an additional income of their respective family in Barangay Tebeng, Dagupan City. Toward this end, the following objectives are set:
1. To provide employment in the area by imparting knowledge to the people about livelihood activities which themselves can effectively manage to earn for a living
2. To expose the community people to different job opportunities and to improve their appreciation on the value of the availability of such human resources or manpower.
3. To maintain their livelihood activities that could last and still be effective over a period of time.
At the end of the project, participants are expected to gain knowledge about the different trainings (i.e. reflexology & foot spa, manicure & pedicure, and haircutting) and for them to employ what they’ve learned. Students are also expected to value the essence of the allowance they receive from their parents and be aware of the different community issues and solutions.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. Background of the Project
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapy which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help with many health problems in a natural way and is a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.
The beginning of reflexology, or zone therapy is still unknown. The earliest solid evidence stems from an Egyptian tomb (dated between 2500-2330 BC) painting. It is certain that zone therapy, as reflexology was once called, was being used as far back as 1500 AD. Cellini, a Florentine sculpture, is said to have used pressure on his fingers and toes to relieve pain in his body.
A book was written on zone therapy techniques by two physicians; Dr. Adamus and Dr. Atitis in 1582. A doctor who studied the work of Dr. H. Bresslar
(who’d looked at the link between pressure points on the foot and the organs within the body) and published a book called ‘Zone Therapy’.
A Dr. With the name of William Fitzgerald reports that a ‘form of treatment’ was used in India and China approximately 5,000 years ago. This too was a treatment by means of pressure points. Dr. Edwin Bower studied with Fitzgerald; together they published a book called ‘Zone Therapy, Relieving Pain at Home’, this book was published during the year of 1917.
Dr. Riley and his spouse enjoyed this book very much and decided to research further. They practised this technique on their patients. In 1919 Dr. Riley produced a publication titled, ‘Zone Therapy Simplified’. He wrote about the eight horizontal sections of the foot along with the ten longitudinal divisions which Dr. Fitzgerald had earlier described in his book.
An accomplice of Dr. Riley’s called Eunice Ingham examined zone therapy further. She came up with the reflexology method, which is what zone therapy is called today. This method was a success! She introduced her work to the Americans and wrote two books on her findings. Doreen Bayley, an English woman travelling America, learned the reflexology method, taught by E. Ingham. She took her findings to England with her and taught all that she had learned to several pupils...
Foot Spa
The term spa is associated with water treatment which is also known as balneotherapy. Spa towns or spa resorts (including hot springs resorts) typically offer various health treatments. The belief in the curative powers of mineral waters goes back to prehistoric times. Such practices have been popular worldwide, but are especially widespread in Europe and Japan. Day spas are also quite popular, and offer various personal care treatments
The practice of traveling to hot or cold springs in hopes of effecting a cure of some ailment dates back to pre-historic times. Archaeological investigations near hot springs in France and Czech Republic revealed Bronze Age weapons and offerings. In Great Britain, ancient legend credited early Celtic kings with the discovery of the hot springs at Bath England. Many people around the world believed that bathing in a particular spring, well, or river resulted in physical and spiritual purification. Forms of ritual purification existed among the native Americans, Persians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Today, ritual purification through water can be found in the religious ceremonies of Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus. These ceremonies reflect the ancient belief in the healing and purifying properties of water. Complex bathing rituals were also practiced in ancient Egypt, in pre-historic cities of the Indus Valley, and in Aegean civilizations. Most often these ancient people did little building construction around the water, and what they did construct was very temporary in nature.
Haircutting
Custom of cutting and arranging the hair, practiced by men and women from ancient times to the present. Early records indicate that the ancient Assyrians wore elaborate curly hair styles; by contrast, the ancient Egyptians, men and women alike, shaved their heads and wore wigs. Whether ornate or simple, hairdressing has been employed by very nearly every society. In 400 BC some Greek women dyed their hair; in the Roman period dying and bleaching were common. Japanese women used lacquer (a precursor of modern-day hair spray) to secure their elaborate coiffures. The wig has come in and gone out of vogue throughout history.
Beginning with the crude curling iron used by women of ancient Rome in creating their elaborate hair styles, hairdressing came to be associated with a variety of technological accoutrements, ranging from simple combs and hairpins to
hold the hair in place to complex electrical appliances for drying and grooming the hair and chemical processes to tint, wave, curl, straighten, and condition the hair. By the 20th century, hairdressing itself and the manufacture of materials and equipment had become an occupation and practical art of large proportions.
Manicure and Pedicure
A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands performed at home or in a nail salon. A manicure consists of filing, shaping of the free
edge, treatments, massage of the hand and the application of polish. There are also
manicure services that are specialties for the hands and feet. For the hands, the soaking of a softening substance and the application of a lotion is a common specialty.
When applied to the toenails and feet, this treatment is referred to as a pedicure. The
word "manicure" derives from Latin:manus for "hands," cura for "care."
Other nail treatments may include the application of artificial nail tips, acrylics, or artificial nail gels. Some manicures can include the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels. In many areas, manicurists are licensed and follow regulation. Since skin is manipulated and is sometimes trimmed, there is a certain risk of spreading infection when tools are used across many people and therefore, sanitation is a serious issue.
A pedicure is a way to improve the appearance of the feet and the nails. It provides a similar service to a manicure. The word pedicure refers to superficial cosmetic treatment of the feet and toenails. A pedicure can help prevent nail diseases and nail disorders. Pedicures are done for cosmetic, therapeutic and medical purposes. They're extremely popular throughout the world, primarily among women. Pedicures are not just limited to nails; usually dead skin cells on the bottom of feet are rubbed off using a rough stone called a pumice stone. Additionally, leg care below the knee became a common and now expected service included in pedicures. Leg care includes depilation via either shaving or waxing followed by granular exfoliation, application of moisturizing creams, and a brief leg massage.
B. Justification of the Project
Community problems do always exist and through community assessment these issues or problems are identified. So research and studies are done to solve these.
In Dagupan City, particularly in Brgy. Tebeng, most of its problem results from unemployment and underemployment. Most of its people are unemployed due to lack of credentials and of unfinished education. Although most of the household in this community are in sufficient condition to sustain their daily needs and wants, still some of its residents are not that abundant to cover-up their obligations and desires in life.
Based on the survey we had at Barangay Tebeng, Dagupan City, most people here are depending on fishing and one of their problems is that there are many residents in this barangay who are unemployed. The Brgy. Chairman of Barangay Tebeng told us that most of the people in their community are gays and they are bystanders.
As we all know, gays are capable of doing works about enhancing beauty. In this case, our class decided to implement the Project B.E.S.T. or Barangay Entrepreneurial Skills Training. We will conduct a seminar and will be having lectures and trainings about reflexology, foot spa, manicure and pedicure, and haircutting for the residents of Brgy. Tebeng. This seminar will help those bystanders to be productive in a way that they will be able to enhance their skills and at the same time, they will be able to earn extra income which would help them in their daily living. That instead of gossiping and doing nothing, they can help
themselves and their community as well by providing services to their fellow ka-barangays.
Thru this seminar, we are expecting that those who will attend will surely learn something that will help them in improving their lives and their way of living. The benefits they will get are very useful to the community as well. It will provide employment and it will lessen those bystanders in the community.
C. Benefits derived from the Project
The following are the benefits derived from the project:
1. It provides livelihood program that is suitable to the community.
2. It lessens the number of bystanders in the community by spending their time in the implemented project.
3. It enlightens the minds of the people in the community about the different ways on how to raise income
4. It transforms their lives into determined, rational and dignified community.
D. Coverage
This project will be made on Barangay Tebeng, Dagupan City. This will cover 20-30 deprived, depressed and underprivileged families specifically the bystanders and unemployed housewives that could not help themselves to uplift there way of life. We, being NSTP Students, will guide our beneficiaries and ensure that they are capable of livelihood activities. We will also assure that our beneficiaries will improve their way of life through this project.
METHODOLOGY
Instead of considering these people as impediment in the community, they will be trained and served as an epitome of responsible citizens in the community. By making this training-seminar workshop, the said unemployed people will have the chance to improve their skills and show their worth in the community. This will help them to have a better living in their community.
Our project will use or employ a lecture-seminar method to accomplish it. The participants will undergo a lecture-seminar and workshop trainings about the basic procedures of doing reflexology, foot spa, manicure and pedicure, and haircutting on the respective dates allotted. The class invited resource speakers who are knowledgeable enough and are experts in the field of our project to hold the said lecture-seminar to impart to the participants in the barangay the procedures. Some of the NSTP students will also be participating in the seminar to assist and help the lecturers as well as the participants, as the case maybe. Before the lecture-seminar proper, we, the NSTP students, will conduct first a short program to disseminate our objectives and purpose of our presence in the barangay. Providing starting kits such as manicure-pedicure kit, hair cutting kit, reflexology & foot spa supplies, will also be done. At the same time we will give certificates to anyone who can finish the training for every field and to whoever who wish to continue the course will also be given a scholarship from TESDA since our resource speaker is an affiliate of TESDA.
