Through service learning program, students have learnt and will continue to learn to be leaders who areresponsive to other‘s need throughout their lives. We believe it is such a beautiful way to help heal our society effectively and efficiently. We believe that helping someone else will be a personal growthexperience for every student.
While reviewing the highlights and experiences of first year of service learning program, it is very clear thatit has been a huge success. Over 200 students-led service learning projects were designed andimplemented to meet service needs of the society. Service learning has a very positive effect on student‘spersonal development and growth. They have developed a sense of caring and a sense of connectednesswith the society. All these projects had a strong connection with the curriculum. Students of all ages fromkindergarten to senior class helped in improving the lives of others in a wide range of areas. In short, it wasan exciting year with many opportunities to serve others. We express deep appreciation to all the principalsand teachers who were involved in the implementation of service learning program in their educationalinstitutions.

Message from Mr. Maxwell Shanti
Executive SecretaryCatholic Board of Education, Lahore
As a Secretary of Catholic Board of Education, Lahore and Principal of Saint Anthony High School FaisalTown, Lahore, I am delighted to share with you this Service Course Manual. Maintaining the spirit of innovation and service to others, Catholic Board of Education, Lahore joined YES Network Pakistan tolaunch first-ever Service Learning program in its leading Catholic Schools in Lahore and Gujranwala. It wasindeed an amazing and fulfilling experience. It was so nice to see that students used their knowledge, skillsand creative abilities to bring change in the lives of others.
I believe that a society cannot be truly successful with a mentality that every individual should only worryabout themselves. Rendering service to others through service learning is an essence about building astronger community whether on school campus, in your neighborhood, city, or any other type of community.I strongly believe Service Learning as a crucial part of a well-rounded education. Participating in service ledproject in school prepares students to be productive members of society. It allows students the opportunityto understand the importance of service to others as a fundamental aspect of being a member of anycommunity.
The service learning projects have challenged and expanded the minds of teachers and students. It hashelped students and teachers to think outside the box, to re-define their roles and to re-define the meaningof success in life. I would like to thank you every principal, teacher and student who participated in servicelearning program and made it a huge success.
I must express my deepest gratitude to YES Network Pakistan for starting service learning program inleading Catholic Schools and for developing this Service Course Manual. Thank you so much for sensitizing, training and documenting first year experience of implementation of service learning program.We look forward to introduce service learning program in all the schools operating under Catholic Board of Education, Lahore. I hope this service learning manual will eventually inspire other educational institutions
to start service learning program and to help students understand that success is measured not only inrupees and accolades but also in lives well-lived and service to others.
God bless you!

Message from Mr. Ali Raza Khan
Country Representative YES Network Pakistan
YES Network Pakistan proudly presents to you a commendable Service Learning Course Manualdeveloped in the light of the most successful experience of implementing first-ever Service Learningprogram in the leading Catholic Schools of Pakistan. YES Network Pakistan has played a pioneer role inpromoting the concept of youth-led development in the country. YES Network Pakistan launched for thefirst time the concept of service learning successfully in the leading Catholic Schools in collaboration withCatholic Board of Education, Lahore. Pakistan is passing through a very critical period. It is getting very
difficult for the government and civil society organizations to meet the huge unmet service of the society.We are caught in innumerable challenges not because of academic imperfection but because of our inability to cultivate positive values in our society.
Education is becoming increasingly irrelevant to real issues of society. Students have become objects or passive recipients rather than actors. It is need of hour to revisit and rededicate ourselves to find newsolutions to the problems we are facing. It is time for all of us involved in the development of youth to re-examine our work. It is time for us to re-examine the real purpose of the education. The challenge toeducational institutions in Pakistan is how to instill positive values among students. Today, majority of theeducational institutions are preparing students solely for careers. They are not preparing students for service to the society.Service-learning provides an opportunity for every student to be successful. Service-learning is a stimulating, meaningful activity. It involves not only reasoning skills but also interpersonalrelationships, feelings, emotions, and self-esteem.Catholic Schools have always laid great emphasis onhelping students to acquire positive values that can serve them throughout their lives. Since both YESNetwork Pakistan and Catholic Board of Education, Lahore share common value of educating students toapply newly acquired skills and knowledge to address real-life needs in communities, they join hands tocombine student learning with service to others. It has been absolutely incredible experience of workingwith Catholic Board of Education, Lahore. We are extremely grateful to His Grace ArchbishopRev. BishopL. Saldanha and Executive Secretary Catholic Board of Education, Lahore Mr. Maxwell Shanti for giving usthe opportunity to roll out first-ever service learning program in its leading schools. We express our deepestgratitude to all the Principals of the Catholic Schools who actively participated and provided unconditionalsupport to their teachers and students for starting service learning program. We are highly obliged to all theteachers and students for their active participation. Without their support and dedication, we would havenever been able to have such a fantastic start.
I must also thanks to my team members for working day-in and day-out to start this program in Pakistan.Thank you so much for your unflinching support and hard work. I hope we will continue with the same spiritto make service learning program a priority for every public and private institutions in Pakistan.

Re-defining Education
The purpose of the education is not to stuff the brain with information. It should transform the mind andheart and make them pure. This important truth has been forgotten. It is important to remember thatcertificates or degrees do not signify education. Today, students get education to acquire wealth, fame,power and position but not good and positive values that can serve them throughout their lives. Servicelearning course has been started in Catholic Schools to fill the huge vacuum existing in the area of education in Pakistan. Today, we have more educated people than before, but today we have moreviolence, crime and injustice in the society. It is clear that without change in the education system there willbe no change. It is not enough to just focus on the cognitive development of the students. It is time to bringa major shift from what is happening in the educational institutions-the heavy-loaded curriculum, limited-assessments and too many books-to cultivate the spirit of sacrifice and spirit of selfless service to society. Itis time to address deficiencies in our education system. Our education systems in Pakistan are finding itdifficult to prepare students for life. Our education systems are giving too much focus on the curriculum andtheory. Our education systems have become self-centered.
Pakistan is passing through a very difficult time. It is surrounded by huge challenges such as terrorism,poverty, electricity load shedding, gas load shedding, shortage of water, illiteracy, environmentaldegradation, etc. Pakistan is running out of resources to meet these challenges. It is desperately looking for resources to address these challenges. Due to the unprecedented increase in terrorism in Pakistan,investments and improvement in the developmental projects have gone down terribly. Unemployment andunderemployment are increasing every day. Educational institutions cannot afford to remain silent or pursue the policy of wait and see.
The educational institutions need to re-think or re-define their role in addressing the challenges being facedby Pakistan. Educational institutions have so much to offer in the shape of human (students, teachers,volunteers, parents) and material (physical infrastructure such as buildings, classrooms, libraries, computer
labs, science labs, transports, etc) resources to address the present challenges. Service Learning programprovides an exciting opportunity to educational institutions to use these resources for both meeting theeducational needs of students and addressing serious social problems. Many international researches andfirst-ever research in Pakistan on service learning have proved that Service Learning program improves theacademic performance of the students, brings new energy and life to the classroom, contributes indeveloping life skills among students and improves the relationship between teacher and students.
The most striking part of service learning program is that both learning and serving are focused. Students inreal service learning programs are not only assessed on what they learn but also on whom they serve.Service Learning is more than a singular activity. It aims at helping students make the connections betweentheory and practice. It means service learning is directly linked to the curriculum. It engages students in
designing, implementing, reflecting and evaluating social, political and environmental issues. It treatsstudents as active-citizens and not as citizens-in-waiting. It aims at developing sense of responsibilityamong students about the issues around them.

Service Learning
A New Paradigm
Service learning is growing rapidly. It has become the most promising strategy to promote all-round
development of students. Service learning is a unique teaching methodology as it provides an opportunityfor students to use knowledge and skills in real life situations. Service learning has emerged as an inspiringstrategy to energize schools, to change the way teachers carries out their responsibilities, to meet theunmet service needs of our society and to enhance the curriculum by extending learning beyond theclassroom. Service learning is defined by different people differently. Despite of the fact, there are manydefinitions or interpretations of service learning, the core concept remains the same. Service learning is anorganized effort to combine service objectives with learning objectives. It is a systematic approach toengage students in delivery of service to others by using gained knowledge from the classroom. Servicelearning integrates service objectives with learning objectives with the goal that the activity has a positiveimpact both the recipient and the provider of the service.
Definition" Service-learning is education in action."—Sen. John Glenn
Service-Learning is a form of experiential learning where students apply academic knowledge and criticalthinking skills to address genuine community needs. (Pamela and James Toole, 1994)
The National and Community Service Act of 1990, which authorized the Learn and Serve America programdefines service-learning as: "a method under which students or participants learn and develop throughactive participation in thoughtfully organized service that is conducted in and meets the needs of acommunity; is coordinated with an elementary school, secondary school, institution of higher education, or community service program, and with the community; and helps foster civic responsibility; and that isintegrated into and enhances the academic curriculum of the students, or the educational components of the community service program in which the participants are enrolled; and provides structured time for thestudents or participants to reflect on the service experience."
Alternatively, theNational Youth Leadership Councildefines service learning as "a philosophy, pedagogy,and model for community development that is used as an instructional strategy to meet learning goalsand/or content standards.‖ Maryland State department of Education has adopted a definition fromLearning in Deed . It states:
Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service to the community with curriculum-based learning. Students improve their academic skills by applying what they learn in school to the realworld; they then reflect on their experience to reinforce the link between their service and their learning. According to Eyler & Giles, 1999, service-learning is a form of experiential education where learning occursthrough a cycle of action and reflection as students work with others through a process of applying whatthey are learning to community problems and, at the same time, reflecting upon their experience as theyseek to achieve real objectives for the community and deeper understanding and skills for themselves.

History of Service Learning Program in Pakistan
"Every Journey Begins With The First Step."
YES Network Pakistan has played a pioneer role in introducing and starting Service Learning program inPakistan. YES Network Pakistan in collaboration with Catholic Board of Education, Lahore launched theService Learning program in the leading Catholic Schools of Pakistan to enrich learning process of students, to mainstream students into the development process and to connect theory to practice. It islaunched to re-define the role of students in the educational institutions from passive beneficiaries to activecitizens that are making efforts to address critical issues being faced by the country. It aims at enablingstudents in applying their knowledge and skills for bringing positive change in the society. It is designed tore-define the role of teachers from leading the students to facilitating the students in experimenting newideas. It is launched to help students to develop the ability to discover for themselves rather than wait for commands from teachers. The overall goal of attaching service learning program into curriculum is to helpstudents develop positive values that can serve them throughout their lives. To accomplish this, servicelearning program is launched throughout all the grades. Service Learning program provides a remarkableopportunity to educational institutions to renew and reform.

Starting a Service Learning Program
This chapter describes a model for introducing and institutionalizing Service Learning Program ineducational institutions of Pakistan. Starting a Service Learning program in educational institutions is verychallenging in Pakistan due to lack of understanding about the concept and lack of motivation amongteachers to experiment new things as well as lack of ability of teachers to take a passive role (share power)while teaching. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to begin the process of launching servicelearning program with those who have the motivation, openness and willingness to experiment new ideasand approaches for fostering positive change both in classroom and the community.
The process of launching of Service Learning program in Pakistan followed a series of thought-out steps.The following steps will help you start an effective service-learning program. While all these steps arevaluable to consider, you may not need to perform them all, or follow them in the order presented here.
The steps include:
Instructional Steps
Steps Description
Identification The first step is to identify a champion (principal,senior teacher or board member) from the institutionwho has both the commitment and clout to introducechange in the institution.
Sensitization The second step is to sensitize the person identifiedon the concept of Service Learning. It may includeorganizing single or several informal sessions toconvince the person about the need and outcomesof the Service Learning program.
Orientation The third step is to organize an orientation sessionwith the person to create in-depth awareness and toidentify possible channels for launching the ServiceLearning program.
Selection of Focal Person The orientation sessions helps to identify and selecta focal person for rolling out the Service Learningprogram in the institution in consultation with theselected person.
Training of Teachers and Distribution of Material The next step includes organizing a training sessionfor the faculty members of the school with the

assistance of focal person. The purpose of thetraining is to equip teachers with knowledge andskills as well as material on Service Learning.
Formation of a Team The training helps to identify interested and potential
teachers at each level (primary, middle and high) for rolling out and coordinating Service Learningprogram.

On-going Monitoring and Mentoring It includes collecting information on continuousprocess from the team regarding the progress. This
step also includes providing mentoring supportduring the execution.
Reflection Sessions The reflection sessions play a very important role intaking stock and moving forward. The reflectionsessions are also helpful in increasing motivationand lessening frustration among teachers.
Evaluation This is a very important stage where impact of Service Learning program is assessed on students,teachers, school and parents.

Bringing Service Learning to Classroom
Service learning is a form of experimental learning, where students learn by doing. Effective servicelearning project incorporates four critical stages:
1. Preparation
2. Action
3. Reflection
4. Celebration
1. Preparation: Preparation stage involves four steps. It includes:
i. Brainstorming (identification of problems): It can be done by holding a brainstorming sessionwith the students for the identification of problems. To identify issues, teacher may encouragestudents to think about the critical issues being faced by our country or specificcommunity/school.
ii. Prioritization of Problems: After identification of problems, students should be encouraged toprioritize the problems, which problem or issue needs urgent attention. The prioritization or problems should be done by the students. The students should decide whether they would like
to participate in an advocacy project, research project or awareness raising project, etc.
iii. Developing goals or objectives: The third preparation activity is for students to developgoals/objectives of the service learning project.
Service Goals/Objectives Learning Goals/Objectives
Benefits to school…………………..
Benefits to other students………….
Benefits to society…………………..
Students will learn………………………………..
Students will understand…………………………
Students will be able to……………………………
iv. Resource Mapping: The fourth step in preparation stage is to map resources for the servicelearning project. It includes mapping existing resources and required resources. This stagealso includes tapping local resources and developing plans for mobilizing funds for the project.

It is important to catalogue available financial and human resources as well as those resourcesthat are available through in-kind donations.
v. Organizing: This is a very important activity of the preparation stage. It includes making smallteams/groups, setting out role and responsibilities, identifying a leader or leaders, developing
timeline and work plan. Brainstorm a list of tasks and determine their most logical sequence.Define the roles of each student and group of students. Decide how the work will be distributedfairly and appropriately among the students.
WHAT needs toget done?
WHO will beresponsible?
WHEN does it needto get done (usedates)?
WHO will need to beinvolved (people onmy team, outsidesupport)?
vi. Developing Material, Partnerships and Learning Skills: The sixth preparation activity is for students to develop project material such as posters, questionnaires, fliers, banners, etc and tolearn the skills necessary to perform service. This activity also includes identifying potentialpartners for the project from within and outside the school.
2. Action Stage: Action stage involves four steps. They include:
i. Performing service as planned
ii. Holding discussions with students and teacher to share progress and solve unanticipatedproblems
iii. Acknowledging the efforts of students that are very active and encouraging those that are shyor little slow to perform

iv. Monitoring the pace of the activities. Make adjustments to the initial plan as new information isgained and new circumstances are faced. It is important to keep the momentum of servicelearning project throughout the year. A good service learning project maintains a goodmomentum throughout its life.
3. Reflection Stage: The third stage of effective service learning project is reflection. It is a processto by which students think critically about their experience.
It is carried out through a variety of ways such as writing, talking, listening and reading aboutservice experiences.
Much of what we learn in life comes from reflecting on our experience. It requires that we providestructured time for students tothink, talk, and write about what they did and observed during theservice activity. Without reflection, we lose a great opportunity to maximize student learning.
"Experience is not what happens to a man;it is what a man does with what happened to him.” — Aldous Huxley
Types of Reflection: There are three major types of reflection. These include:
a) Cognitive: It examines the new knowledge and skills gained by students from the serviceexperience.
b) Affective: It examines what students feel as a result of their experience.
c) Process: It examines what students learn from the process itself (team building, communicationskills, conflict resolution skills, etc)
Reflection is meaningful when it is carried out regularly. Reflection can be done at two levels:
I. Individual Reflection
II. Group Reflection
Individual reflection is important to learn about the person experience of a student.

The survey involves the 6 leading Catholic schools in Lahore in which Service Learning projectswere implemented with the assistance of Youth Engagement Services (YES) Network Pakistan in 2009.

Out of the 11 schools, 6 schools have been chosen in which the service learning projectshave been completed. Over 100 Service Learning Projects have been completed in these schools. Theseprojects were related to all fields of life such as health, plantation, raising awareness, reducing pollution,saving natural resources, etc. In the rest of the schools, the Service Learning Projects are still in progress. A sample of 357 students and 66 teachers which were involved in these projects has been chosen from 6schools. Hence, Stratified Random Sampling has been used for this purpose. Questionnaires weredistributed among students and teachers of these schools. Close ended questionnaire were used for this
purpose. The survey was conducted to know the effects of the Service Learning Projects upon the studentsand teachers. It evaluates that how the participation in this program has strengthened the skills, abilitiesand attitudes of the respondents and it effects on the other fellow beings.

I am very happy that YES Network Pakistan has launched the service Learning Program in our school. I willsay it is a great privilege for us. I have noticed a huge change in a short span of time in my staff and in mychildren. At the beginning, when Catholic Board of Education, Lahore invited YES Network Pakistan to
launch service learning program, I was thinking that what will happen and what would be the expectationsof YES Network Pakistan from my side. I encouraged all the teachers to use the gained knowledge andskills from the training workshops conducted by YES Network Pakistan for facilitating the process of developing and executing service student-led service learning projects. I assured complete support at anytime & at any cost. Now, after the successful completion of first year of service learning program in myschool, I would like to strongly recommend service learning program to every school in Pakistan. Iproposed it because I have seen a huge change in my children and in my staff. One example is that beforethe service learning program, I always encourage students to keep the environment clean, but they oftenforgot it. After the service learning program their behavior has changed a lot. They are so keen to keep theenvironment clean. They have planted the trees in the school and improved the environment tremendously.There is great enthusiasm among students now to throw wrapper and garbage in baskets.
I feel that the students have learnt the real purpose of the education through the service learning project.Service Learning Program has helped my students and teachers to realize that they have enormous talentand abilities. Service Learning Program has brought out the best from them. This program is verynecessary for us. Every child of my school participated in this project. I am very proud of the fact that myschool was selected for this wonderful program. I must say that whatever we have accomplished it is

The Editor
The News
Lahore
Date
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to draw the attention of LESCO towards
the problem of ‗load shedding‘.
Load shedding has become a matter of daily occurrence and it is so frequent that we fear it any
time. It is very inconvenient and distressing to have electricity off every now and then. It badly affects our daily life as our life depends on electrical machines and appliances. Load shedding also causes damage to
them.
For students, it is the most distressing situation as they can not cope up with their studies in this
situation. They have to do daily study, prepare for the tests and exemption. Load shedding is badly
affecting their routine work and performance, as a lot of their precious time is wasted. It is the duty of
LESCO to see that consumers get full service when they pay full dues. I hope that the relevant authorities
will do every thing possible to improve their services.
Yours truly,
X.Y.Z.
