CAS Manuelita 2

CAS Objectives:

• 
   Planned and initiated activities- In order to complete this objective for CAS La Manuelita, I had to create new activities, by planning them with the group in the end of each day, while also initiating them during our time there.
• Shown perseverance and commitment in their activities- I really enjoyed being at La Manuelita, which meant that I was very committed to the activity, and my perseverance level was very high. This was very good in order to achieve the objective.
• Engaged with issues of global importance- During La Manuelita I was able to engage in global issues, as I was helping the elders with everything they needed, and giving them support for the time I was engaged at the activity.

This was my second day at La Manuelita, and I am still surprised at how many wonderful things one can learn from the elders at the place. Today's activity was based on the memorization skills of the elders, as we played games and asked them to tell us about their lives. I asked my mom to volunteer coming with us to the Manuelita site, something that she will do every tuesday in order to help us with the activities. It was a great experience for me as I was able to not only learn from them, but also help them with their memorization skills, and give them support when needed.
