Service Learning in India

Abstract

<p>I have always enjoyed trying to do two things</p> <p>at once. Watching TV while ironing, talking on</p> <p>the phone while driving (hands free of course),</p> <p>and eating breakfast while reading are three</p> <p>recommended combinations. It feels great to be</p> <p>able to combine two tasks that compliment each</p> <p>other. In fact, at times, you would be considered</p> <p>a little strange if you were to do one task</p> <p>without the other. Ironing, by itself, is mundane,</p> <p>using your mobile in a stationary position</p> <p>is contradictory, and I am yet to see anyone</p> <p>reading the Weet-bix packet at a time other</p> <p>than during breakfast. Some things are meant</p> <p>to be done together. As we are discovering</p> <p>at Avondale College, ‘learning to teach’ and</p> <p>‘service learning’ is another such pairing.</p>
