It seems that social work adds to the student resume in many colleges. Especially abroad. I discovered this only recently.
There is no greater way to kill the spirit of giving, doing, sharing.
Work done for society is only a duty enjoined on it. And it is done in silence. In humility.
Every villager knows this. Lives this.
To seek to speak about it, to enter that in the biodata is to render it meaningless. To destroy the spirit of a child who might have otherwise actually discovered greater ways of being. And doing.
Totally understand what you mean. But when education is itself about shouting how great you are from the pulpits why blame the child?
Conversely, if 5% are impacted in a way that enlarges their understanding of the world and who is the giver and who is the taker, then it is worth it. Let it show on their CV. Let them ask those questions that are not asked. Fearlessly.

you cannot have a wrong process lead to a right end.
You cannot allow acts of giving on a resume. It is far more profane than boasting about marks.
Exposure to social concerns is essential. But not as part of resume building. The spirit is wrong, even if the act is right. It can easily be restructured differently.
forget kids. we see adults who share their selfies with the very people whom they helped. The giving hand has to be lower to the receiver's hand; that very idea is completely lost here and the purpose becomes something entirely different.
We have lost roots, and with that all sense.
