2. SHARING MOMENTS
3. GENESIS Service Learning started at ISD in 2008/2009 school
year.
4. Why are we doing Service Learning? Because we want to:
promote learning through active participation and extend learning
beyond the classroom Provide opportunities to use skills and
knowledge in real-life situations Develop a sense of caring for
others Provide structured time for the students to reflect
5. FOCUS RELATIONSHIPS SAMUSOCIAL ORPHANAGE YAAYU XALEYI PIKINE
SCHOOL
6. SAMUSOCIAL Samusocial Senegal is based in Dakar for almost
nine years. It provides shelter, medical care and education
services to street children. The center is open round the clock,
seven days a week. A permanent infirmary keeps the children needing
constant medical observation. ISD has developed a strong
relationship between the boys at the shelter and ISD high school
students over the past four years. High School students go every
week to the Samusocial shelter. Several times a year, we invite the
children to come to ISD for fun games and sports, in order to give
them and our students the experience of recognizing each other as
human beings.
7. MEDINA ORPHANAGE La pouponnire From August 1995 La
Pouponnire has been hosting kids aged 0-2 (prematurely born or the
mother needs medical care) La Pouponnire also receives abandoned
children with the coordination of Dakar regional court. ISDs
collaboration with La Pouponnire started way before the actual
service learning. Today ISDs students go to the orphanage once a
week and spend two hours taking care of the babies.
8. KR YAaYU XALEYI Our sister school in Pikine, "Kr Yaayu
Xaleyi" (The house of the childrens mother"), is our most long-
lasting service project. The school is located in Pikine, one of
the most populated and poorest suburbs of Dakar Last year ISD
organized school visits, invited a couple of classes to visit ISD.
It also had fundraising activities to buy educational material This
year the PTO (Teacher-Parent Organization) offered to build a
library and an additional room which will serve as a classroom
and/or for other purposes.
9. Closer to home Students at ISD are welcomed (and encouraged)
