Devarsh Shah – CAS Experience – Feeding Cows

Once when I was inside a stable for cows I observed that the cow’s were starving extremely hard and whenever someone dropped anything into their baskets they would fight to get a bite. After seeing this I pictured how it must feel to starve for days and planned to donate some proper meals to cows such as rice, rotis, and vegetables for several days. 

LO -3 : Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience. I had to plan the different stables and the type of meal which I was supposed to donate. For example I donated proper means and not packets so I had to research about nutritious foods for cows so that it would give them proper nutrition and also a good amount of quantity to satisfy their needs. 

LO -4 : show commitment to perseverance in CAS experiences. I showed optimum level of commitment as I had to dedicate some time to package the food into disposable foil containers as well as decide the food and the different locations at which I was supposed to go. 

LO -5 : Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively. I worked with a few friends of mine in order to divide the workload and tasks to manage this project. One of my friends decided and figured out the different stables we were supposed to distribute food in, one friend took the responsibility to design the food menu for optimum level of nutrition. And I took the responsibility to make the food. 

LO -6 : Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.Starvation in animals is a major issue worldwide and is to be addressed as it could result in extinction of domesticated species if not taken care of.

It was a great experience donating and giving to the animals in need. It gives us sympathy and a feeling of good work. I would want to do these kinds of acts every now and then because it helps contribute to a major world problem. And helps make the society a better place.
