CAS Manuelita 6

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.

Today we had the presence of a new member of the Manuelita volunteering group, Jorge Anaya, therefore we had to introduce him to the elders at the place and instruct him what we do at the foundation. The other activity after introducing Jorge was the movie watching of black and white spanish movie that one of the volunteers brought for them to watch while eating popcorn and drinking coca cola. I was in charge of bringing the cookies for after the popcorn, therefore I had to make sure I bought normal and cookies without sugar, for those who had diabetes or could not eat sugar. It was very fun to watch a movie in black and white with them as it is very unusual for me to do that.
