University
students will focus their efforts on serving others during Service Week at
BYU-Idaho Oct. 6-11.
Lindsie
Davis, a student who has been organizing the week, says some of the
activities that the students will become involved with will have
repercussions throughout the semester. Volunteers will be recruited to work
at the Boy Scout merit badge powwow to be held later in the month and
volunteers will also register for Project Imagine, which involves mentoring
students in after-school activities at local elementary and middle schools.
Robert
H. Smoot, who is responsible for raising funds for humanitarian services
with the LDS Foundation, will speak Thursday at 2 p.m. in the Taylor
Chapel.
The
week will also feature several service projects. The first will be painting
pumpkins on Monday from 1-3 p.m. for the Rexburg Nursing Center. Students
will make toy cars for underprivileged children through the Happy Factory
program from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday and put together school kits Thursday
after Smoot’s talk.
The
monthly Serving with Smiles service project will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday.
