M&m_Fan99 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Hello I am recently started helping out at a local lawyer firm, because i am in desperate need of service hours.As you are all aware if we do not complete CAS hours, we will be denied from our IB diploma!So, I am helping them do things like:Typing up documentsSome simple translationSorting documents out (adding them to a list on a Word document, checking all listed documents are in the correct box etc.)Helping make folders which are needed for cases (eg all documents for a case will be put in a folder)Tearing documents, for recyclingPlease be mindful that I am in no way getting paid for these activities.I have been doing this for 3 hours a week, about 4 weeks now.Do you guys believe this is good for "service" hours?Please reply soon so I can decide whether or not to continue this activity.It really "chunks" out my study time, you know?Peace fofo. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashmaster Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 No, I don't think that's a good idea. At least, I asked my IB coordinator about a similar situation, and he said that doing service for a business isn't really in the spirit of this project. You're supposed to be doing service for your community, for those who need help and are less fortunate. Lawyers don't exactly fit that description...
