CAS Creativity and Service - 23rd of April, Children's Day

At 23^rd of April we went to “Aziz Nesin Çocuk Vakfı”, which is children’s organization. Students were doing charity works in order to make children happy. An honorable mathematician called Aziz Nesin has established this organization to create events for children and to spend money for the benefits of children. Every year our school organizes events at 23^rd of April, the international children day, and try to make children happy. As well as Eyuboglu schools, students from other schools were there to help children, which was a great collaboration.

For creativity, we taught children (3-7 years old) to draw and paint. The had a lot of fun it taught us a lot to be model teachers. For service we helped and entertain them for charity, and gave the art pieces that they have done to them.

I am much more talented than the other students at drawing and painting. We were given some group jobs e.g., drawing, sculpture making, painting walls, painting t-shirts and we worked in accordance with the groups. I showed and taught how to draw and paint to children with more knowledge than the others.

Dealing with children is of course challenging for us. I learned how to manage with children, how to do what they want and to show respect to them. Since we are high school students, it was hard to deal with lower age group. We must have treated everyone equally to apply ethics rules. Chaos wasn’t tolerated at there, because every child was there to have fun.

We executed this CAS event by planning it from earlier. This project was planned in common with CAS department of our school. We also collaborated with students from other schools not only to cooperate, but also to entertain children. We also organized sports activities with other schools.
