The Problem

Previously, I have helped my school community come together through music and dance. I want to help children and the elderly who are ill (physically and/or mentally) to look at a learning opportunity and not run away because they are afraid the experience will not appeal to them, or because they are not able to do the task.

Plan of Action

Each week I can take two days to visit the elderly, children, the mentally ill, and the physically ill in hospitals, and I can help them become more active by showing/teaching them dance routines or playing/teaching music ensembles. This will also boost their confidence and teach them how to forget your disabilities, have fun, and learn at the same time.
