Reported by Caien(Daisy) Chen :
On July 11th, 2024, AYLUS members volunteered at their local elderly center. Since the usual counselor was absent that day, the AYLUS members took charge of the activities for the morning. Since many of the elders had just woken up, they started with a few exercises involving a pool noodle which exercised their arms and upper body. Then, they did sitting yoga which stretched their legs. Finally, the concluded with mindfulness breathing. Next, they practiced being grateful for everything while the members prepared a snack of chocolate and vanilla pudding. As the sun was barely shining outside, AYLUS members decided that it would be the perfect time to go outside to enjoy the sun and take a walk. They put a protective sun hat on each resident and either guided those who could walk, or pushed those in wheelchairs around the garden. Lastly, it was time for lunch and all members were guided to the lunch room.
