CG GSL - Leadership and Service learning for 10 Schools within the Kathmandu Valley in partnership with Anuvuti
CG’s vision is not only to connect the students and the community but also to involve educational institutes in this process to create a platform of active education for the youth while simultaneously addressing the concerns, needs, and hopes of communities. Anuvuti, as an implementing partner, brings in the needed expertise in the field of service learning. This project aims at delivering service learning to 200 students chosen from various government schools. This 10 month program includes classroom learning as well as implementation of service projects in order to apply what the students learn to solve real-world problems and actively contribute to their community.
CG Growing Service Leaders: The Concept
- If it’s to be, it’s up to me —William H. Johnson
- We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give. - Winston Churchill
- An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity - Martin Luther King, Jr.
CG’s purpose of embracing the concept of service learning (which in simplest terms is a teaching technique that fuses education with service in the community) is to provide meaningful experiences that can transform the nation’s youth into leaders, experiences to help develop a better understanding of themselves, their local and global community as well as their roles and responsibility.
The more able and the less able, both serving each other, is the rock upon which a good society is built. It is only natural that today’s children - tomorrow’s leaders need to be instilled with a strong culture to contribute, thus paving the way for a significant, long-lasting and far-reaching improvement in the quality of life.
The process of service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. The result? Students become life-long learners and life-long contributing citizens. Not only will they enhance their understanding through field work, but also engage early in service to foster a strong culture of giving and pass on the same to future generations.
