CAS Project: Physiotherapy and other activities at the local Disabled Home

For our CAS project, my CAS group and I decided to do something at the local disabled home just 45 minutes away from the school. After the first site visit, we decided to raise money for the disabled home’s physiotherapy department so we can buy a plinth for them. During our visits to the home we’ve done physiotherapy sessions with the residents of the home and fun activities like pass the parcel and musical chairs. We also did some colouring with the residents whom all really seem to enjoy it. It was heartwarming seeing that the little things we did for them made them so happy. I personally think it was there were some hands on activities they could do to break out of their daily routine of passively sitting in their beds or cots and watching TV. I definitely formed some bonds with some of the residents who I coloured with and it was sad during my last visit to not know when I would next see them. Helping with physiotherapy was extremely interesting and also fulfilling. There was a certain sense of gratification in knowing that the exercises we did with the residents would actually help improve their quality of life. The only thing that bothered me was that what we did there wasn’t enough and has left me feeling a sense of responsibility to try and help less fortunate people like them as best as I can in the future.
