New Creativity CAS: Yearbook!

This year in my goals I planned to fulfill more of the Creativity aspect of CAS and I chose the Yearbook activity to do this.

During our first meeting of yearbook I was appointed to create the 'Founder's Day' page and will be doing this for most part of the semester.

Through this activity I am learning something new, which is using Photoshop, and also exploring my passion for art in a different way, through technology.

I look forward to a good year in the Yearbook committee!

Alzheimer's Annual Walk 2011

Today was the Alzheimer's Annual Walk and nearly everyone in our group took part in it.

Like last year, this year's walk was also aimed at raising awareness about the disease and getting to know other people in Sri Lanka who are working towards the common goal of spreading the word and helping patients.

Visit to the Alzheimer's Center with new group

Yesterday was the new Alzheimer's groups' visit to the centre. This time, we were shown around by Mr. Tamitagama.

The visit was a great success, and it has enabled us to plan ahead for the group activities in the coming Year.

Mr. Tamitagama has offered us the priviledge of attending the patient's sessions with a Doctor and to conduct Memory Tests ourselves. This will be a great learning experience and oppurtunity especially since I am intested in pursuing Medicine in the future.

The centre is looking to officially open on the 21st and we have also been invited to the opening ceromony. However, since it is taking place during school hours, it might be difficult for us to attend.

Nevertheless, we have promised the centre that we plan to visit every month and take part in various therapy sessions with the patients such as cooking, art, music, etc., and our group eagerly looks forward to this.
