Abu Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 No text speak!I got 40 hours of action in about 4 days, because I went on a 4 day cycling trip with a group of people. For service, most of us are in the holidays, spend a week or something at a old age home giving up 5 hours per day. You'll be closer to your target in no time.

lindieeluieee Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 You could also volunteer for being a clown/entertainer for a few children's hospitasl or general hospitals, just to entertain people who are sick in the holiday season. My friend did that, he was very popular and it's a great way to earn hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vvi Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ok, so your service is almost done since you're doing the hospital thing.For action, can you go swimming anywhere? Girl or boy, I'm sure Oman has swimming pools What sports does your school play? When I was in 10th grade, we had a senior who needed action hours. He signed up for the volleyball team and came to practice, even though it was meant for younger kids. This year, some girls in my class joined the soccer team for CAS hours but they never played in matches. Or sign up for exercise classes. This requires a lot more work (and actual money) than the school thing. I did pilates classes this year and it's so much work to take a bus, go work out, come back home, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrila Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 "i need 47 hours of service and 38 action"Dont worry, you will be able to cover that. I'm in 2IB and have completed my CAS hour... Well, I suggest you to do voluntary works such as blood donation (this is great..i love it) , teach kids at school(i did this every week last time), paint mural,... you can do these constantly for several weeks and you will fill up the empty CAS hours.Apart from that, as for actions, do you join any sports club in your school? Why dont attend the meeting every weeks to get CAS hours.. I think that will help.. busy? yes I know.. but, you still need to get your Hours completed..Good luck!!

KiwiFruit Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Go to your sports co-ordinator at your school and say, I dont care what sport just put me in one...Go to your cultural co- ordinator, let me be a part of the stage crew for an upcoming blahblah,Go to( if your school has one) kindergarten and help out at lunch times.Its not hard, there is 24hours in a day.

IBSQUARED Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I love how you were worried about spelling here: "tht u think is doable(sp?) globally?". Made me laugh On Topic:For service you could- volunteer at a fundraiser/walk (like CIBC's run for the cure in Canada).- sign up for World Vision's 30hr famine (easy 15 hours)For action-coach a kid's sports team?- swimming/other sports work too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmcgui09 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 If you talk to your teachers they are generally pretty willing to help, so ask if you have finished your work, that maybe you can count helping out others in the class as S. This will double your class time and S time so you can still study in your free time.For A I agree with the others, just get out there and do something. Go running and ask your friend to go with you. Or go for a week and get 12 hours done from bike riding. There are plenty of options. Just keep searching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aether Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Field trips are great for CAS hours. If you don´t want to lose so much hours in the same day. you can work tutoring kids at your school. You're IB, you're supposed to be considered suuper smart!

Wootable Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Go for a run. At least five people in my class ran aroun dan hour a week, and then signed up for a bigger race at the end. I'm sure they got around 15-20 hours, and its good for showing commitment, perserverance. And if you run for a charity, you can count it as service. Though I'm not sure how easy this would be to do in Oman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
