Immersion Environment

Community Immersion
is an experimental process of being with the people in communities. The process helps concretize theoretical classroom discussion through actual experiences. It also raises the level of awareness and consciousness of the realities besetting the people in the communities. And lastly, it promotes involvement and service to the communities.

Each community needs to find its own solutions to its own problems. There are no easy or "universal" answers that can be brought in from the outside. Human factors (more than technical ones) are what make community activities fail or succeed. 

To serve those whose needs are greatest, community programs must make every effort to help the weak gain and keep control (sometimes this may mean refusing or limiting assistance from those in positions of power-whether inside or outside the community).
