Community Work at GK2

The Silliman University Physics Department Faculty and Staff, as well as the 4th year BS Physics students, spent the morning in the GK2 (Gawad Kalinga) community in Bahumpandan. The 4th year students gave lectures on disaster awareness and preparedness in the context of floods, earthquakes, and thunderstorms. Doctor Bandal also gave a brief overview on global warming and why we must be concerned. The discussion between the residents and the faculty was interesting and the residents were quick to share their experiences regarding the different disaster situations.

Afterwards, the group proceeded to the Bandal residence for lunch which was followed by a devotion. The devotion revolved in an interesting retrospect of faith and physics.
