Creating the team canvas was a great exercise to understand what each members strengths are, what are the values that we have, our needs, personal goals, common goals and laying our roles and responsibilities. This was helpful to understand what we are as a team and how we can collaborate with each other and work as a TEAM to bring the change.

To contribute to the community, the first thing i think is critical is being aware of the issues that are going on and try to address them in whichever way we can. We might not be able to bring a full solution but we can ideate and create a solution that might contribute to solving the issue. It can be a small part of whole but it can create a bigger difference in the community that we live in. For instance, there is a big issue of food wastage and costs that comes with it not only in monetary terms but affecting other aspects like environment, health and so on. It is important to understand our strengths and how we can as a collaborate with others to bring solutions to issues that need attention. This exercise made me realize that ME and WE are connected and need to collaborate and work together to bring the change we want.
