CAS Manuelita 9

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.

The main focus of today's visit was to cut the hair of the elders while also having photography sessions as Martha was in charge of cutting the hair while my Mom, Andrea, and I were in charge of the pictures. We brought different costumes and wigs for them to put on for the picture, which made the environment very funny and content. While the ones that were not taking the picture were playing Bingo on the other side of the room with other volunteers. It was a great experience that I wish to repeat someday, as I admired how happy they get with the attention we give them.
