To achieve the requirements of
this section of the Friend curriculum, I recommend the Director/teacher to
first discuss with the class on what it means to be a ‘good citizen’. You can
invite a reputable member of society for this section or you can place it for
discussion among the Friend class members and then make a constructive
conclusion
The next part of the curriculum
requires physical involvement in the community. Considering that the Friend
class is still a young group and may have never done community outreach before,
I suggest arranging an activity which they all can do together.
Do your research of youth clubs
around or a children’s home or orphanage or an organization that deals with disabled
children and arrange for all the Friend class members to go to such a place as
a group. Furthermore, you need to have a set program of what the Friends will
do when they arrive at such a place.
Be fully prepared and assign
roles such as prayer and verse recital and every part of what will happen needs
to be known by the Friend class and everyone must be comfortable with their
role. For even better contribution, encourage them to contribute their ideas
during the planning stage but don’t expect much from them at this point as this
may be very new to them.
Take pictures, keep memories and
have fun!
