Service For Peace

In order to graduate from high school, one of the requirements is 40 learning hours. I have 271 hours so far. This is because my dad is a director of Service For Peace, which is a program where people help the community. We do it every summer, for one whole week (Summer of Service), and few times during the year. We do all sorts of things, like painting murals, gardening, cutting down hazardous trees in forests, and etc. It's a voluntary work, no payment required, except for the Summer of Service.

It is a very good way to get service learning hours, but the point is helping the community and also learning something. We are doing Service for Peace on Martin Luther King Jr. day, which we do every year. I'm not sure where we are going and what we are doing, but I just want to help whenever I can. I want to help anybody with whatever I can, even if it's a little thing because the littlest things count.
