WASHING CARS FOR HAITI EARTHQUAKE:

Going to the zoo With The RCCI kids:

Today, in 9^th February 9, 2010 we went to the Dehiwala zoo with kids in the RCCI group. These children are very friendly but they have problems which stops them from communicating properly. We saw many animals and had fun with them. I learnt that I was a very lucky boy to be so normal and not rejected by others who think that I am mentally disabled.

WHAT I HAVE DONE IN PAST YEARS:

In the past year, I had taken Alzhiemers Foundation for my grade 6 community and service activity. It taught me what alzhiemers was and who get it. It is a disease that many older people get which makes them tend to forget many important things in their life. It is a very unfortunate disease and the person who suffers with it forgets how to respond and do many other things in life. We also made cards, candles and different ramdom items which we could sell in shops to earn money and give it to an alzhiemers house so they could buy new items to make it better.

I also thought how unfortunate they were because of facing this disease in a house where they dont have family and friends to help them get through it. They would just sit and stare at an empty space all day. We also talked about visitng thema nd making them happy at christmas time so we could sing christmas carols and play games with them.

After some discussion we decided we would go and we left for the azhiemers house. Luckily, we didnt have to worry because it is a genteic sickness and we cannot get it by touching the one affected. We set off with lots of sweet food and drinks and also snacks to the alzhiemers house. It was very fun as we got to play with them, talk with them and sing fun carols with them.

It was a very good C.A.S activity as we learnt, played and made things without any pressure. I enjoyed it a lot too.
