Service is something that we do in order to benefit our community. I think that it is our duty to serve our communities, as we are part of the community and have a role in serving it.
In order to encourage students to partake in service, our school (International Christian School) has taken part in the MAD (Make a Difference) program.
MAD projects are a component of our Bible 9 course this year, and the purpose of these projects is to promote service and to broaden our wealth of experiences. This is an example of service learning, a teaching method that combines service to the community with classroom curriculum, and also includes reflecting on service.
These service opportunities helps to increase student's sense of civic responsibility, and also encourages a student's probability to be engaged in service to the community in the future. I feel that it is wise that the MAD project is a graduation requirement at ICS, because it is beneficial to all those who partake in it.
