I’m just wondering how many boarding school students do their community service projects on campus. Not every kid can afford to fly to South Africa during the summer to volunteer at a rural health clinic. And I can’t imagine that schools with large boarding populations can arrange the transportation needed to shuttle kids back and forth to town every day for whatever project they’re involved in. So do kids ever do projects at school? I’m thinking maybe working as tutors for other students, or doing fundraising for a school activity, or planting a community garden, or . . . ???
