The incentive and the assistance can both come from universitystudents and teachers as a form of service learning. Service learning4,5 is a growing trend inuniversities in which students participate on an educational project that applies their knowledgewhile contributing meaningfully to their communities. Service learning engages students bygiving their work significant purpose and reinforces their commitment to their discipline byseeing it directly benefit humanity.
