In my time here in Indonesia, so far, I have gotten to see and know people who serve in different roles in my community, both officially and informally. Since I spend a lot of time at my school, I have seen many examples of service there, but everywhere I have gone, people have been willing to give a helping hand. Here, I will share some of those ways that I have seen people serve in my community.
Schools are very complicated, and many people help keep them running. At my school, many students help teachers and other students with different daily needs: some students serve as couriers, bringing attendance sheets to their teachers after classes (classes at my school stay in their homerooms, like elementary students do in the U.S.). Other students help bring students’ school lunches to their homerooms and afterwards return the reusable trays that the lunches are served in. Still more students help kids when they get hurt while playing sports, like they are deputy nurses. There are also other students who help organize important school events, like the dance competition and beauty pageant that I wrote about in a previous blog post, as well as run student clubs.
