Habitat Build

Habitat Build (service)

For my CAS Habitat we went on a build to Pattayamawatta. This was a place that one of our CAS groups have gone before but I asn't on that trip so it was my first time seeing that place. According to some people who went on the trip before, the place has improved a lot from the last trip and a lot of the houses were completely finished and people were already living in them.

 This is going to be my last build so in the morning Itried to be on time for the build and also i wanted to contribute as much as I an. We started working around 9 o clock and the first job that i had to do was to make cement and transfer the cement and the meson put the cement into the pillar. I tried to work collaboratively with others as well as i tried to communicate and collaboratively work with the local community. I also tried to show perseverance and commitment as I did fair share of work even in both my jobs making the cemenet and also when digging the foundation.

Wall Climbing (Action)

Wall Climbing (Action)

 In order to try out new activities and to overcome my fear of heights i decided to try out wall climbing. I had to miss out two of the days because in one of the weeks I had to stay home and study for my mocks and the other week i had tuition and i couldn't miss out tuition. The goals I set before I went to my first wall climbing was to at least make it to the top in the easiest one. When I went to wall climbing i had to climb the second hardest wall because it was the only one set up. I couldnt make it up the first time but i managed to make it all the way to the top in the second wall climbing day.

Habitat for Humanity (Service)

Habitat for Humanity Goals
Goals I would like to set for this semester for service are:

- To increase awareness of my strengths and weaknesses. Such as being more on time to go for the builds.
- Undertake new challenges, for example take new jobs in the builds such as mixing cement.
- Working collaboratively with others, like always.
- Showing perseverance and commitment, be more on time for the meetings and also builds in the morning.
-Engaged with issues of global importance. This semester I would like to be more involved and engaged in issues with global importance as Service has to do something that is of global importance.
-Developing new skills. I would also like to improve and also develop new skills while i am at the build which would somehow help in the future.
