Today it was time for me to hold a workshop with everyone.
Today's visit started with all of us students going down to the canal that runs parallel to Naluwan to collect shells.
In this visit, we were focused on stringing seashells onto the wooden branches as art pieces for the exhibition.
In this visit, I spent most of my time talking to an ah ma from my weekly group.
I arrived earlier than the other students and had some time to interact with Ivan and his family before the others arrived.
We started our time at Naluwan with some morning dance moves to warm up our bodies. It was pleasant to see the elders actively participating in the exercise.
For this visit, Juanjuan and I were grouped with five grandmothers, three from the previous visit and two new grandmothers due to the absence of our classmates.
Also this week we spent time with the elderly in the community. Me and Charles had a conversation with a man in a wheelchair that Charles also talked to last time.
