For example

, a documentary carried out by BBC news suggests that in recent times, employers prefer to employ an applicant who has done one form of

community

service

and

also

has experience in the field in which the vacancy is based on.

Thus

, engaging in charitable services is an advantage for job seekers. Another reason is that taking

part

in

charity

and helping the

community

without pay assists in developing students morally. Engaging in

such

activities at that young age, allows them to understand that they are less privileged people in the society who needs their assistance and offering to support them is a commendable behaviour.

Furthermore

, it is essential for them to understand that they can render some services without being paid.

This

will make them understand that not all services are rewarded with financial benefits. To illustrate, a survey conducted in Bambi Secondary

School

Lagos, concluded that students who engaged in

community

work as

part

of their curriculum in

school

appreciates the wealth their parents have because they are aware that some children are out of

school

because their parents cannot afford to pay their

fees. Overall,

students morally. In conclusion, some people are of the opinion that engaging in various forms of

should be a compulsory aspect
