CAS Manuelita 8

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 spent most of the time planning a new project for the foundation of La Manuelita, as most of the elders expressed a need for a plantation site. We discussed the place where it could be made, how it would be formed, when, and what measures should be taken in order to obtain the resources and money for the plantation. The other time was spent on talking with the elders, in which they talked about their lives and families, along with other topics such as love, and traveling. In my opinion I was able to learn a lot just by listening to them, as most of the information gained were beneficial or will be in a future occasion.
