I actually volunteered as as a watcher before and politicians tried to bribe us on their favor that is how rubbish politics here in my country that is why bad governance still exist in here and will continue to exist in the future if people will tolerate that kind of wrong doings and progress keeps on lagging because of that as politicians will surely regain what they've lost during elections.
It's nice to see someone trying to take action to realize their idealism

Taking the initiative to take action that we can do, no matter how small, will be better than just talking
But like other good things, it requires a lot of sacrifice, time, and consistency to make it happen.
Stay strong, stay consistent, and don't be pessimistic. All the best for you...
