•Your CCA has planned to go to a home to conduct activities for elderly suffering from dementia. During the activities, CCA members find it challenging to engage the elderly even though they have prepared something for them. The elderly were doing their own stuff or showing no interest. At the end of the day, CCA members became demoralized in the VIA session.

# data[].attributes.body
•Can somebody tell me what happened during the session? How did we perform? How did the elderly react?

•How do you feel about the whole session? Are you satisfied with your commitment? How do you feel when the elderly acted this way?
•Can we ask ourselves what is the importance of the project? How would we want to describe our ability and commitment level? What AFI have we recognized during the session?

•If there were second chance, how would we want to do it differently? How would we want to address our pitfalls? From what we have learnt, how can we internalize and apply in our daily lives?

Our CCA travels to homes of different elderly located a few blocks away from Hougang Mall, by the time we reach their homes we have limited time to interact with the elderly. There are also a few elderly who do not speak English and thus there is a language barrier. Some of us are not satisfied with what we have accomplished as we are unable to fully communicate with them and do not have enough time to interact with the elderly.

Our CCA is the environmental champions hence, we are required to do VIA projects which are beneficial to the environment. One of our tasks is to design recycling boxes in groups to put in classes for the recycling of newspapers and plastic bottles. However, we have conflicts such as the sec 1s in groups not contributing as they are also caught fooling around and the time to do our CCA activities are delayed.

Our VIA is to visit Hougang Primary School to tutor primary 6 students mathematics.
During one of our VIA Sessions, some of the students were restless and were rude to us when we are teaching them. They started to fool around and were all very noisy. In the end the teacher stopped them as we were helpless because we could not control them even though we came prepared and were enthusiastic in teaching them. It makes us feel down.

Our CCA is to visit needy families and bring them goody bags that includes necessities such as food. We have split into groups to visit the families we are assigned to in order to familiarise with them. Before meeting them, we might have language barriers as some Chinese elderly might not be able to speak Chinese and instead speak dialects, which we may not understand. Another problem we may face is that they might not be friendly to us and instead shut us off.

We go to old-folks home for our VIA,  our CCA mates feel that interacting with the elderly is fun but the language barrier that we have with them makes it hard for us to interact with them or play with them.  Majority of the elderly are Chinese however, they do not speak Mandarin. Hence, this makes it hard for them to understand us and hard for us to talk to them. Also, some of our CCA members speak Malay so this stops them from interacting with most of the elderly. The questions we would ask are: "Do you like going to the old folks home?", "what other projects do you want to do?", "what can you do to further improve your experience there?"
