We were taken to a village, Savarkundla and we were required to do one of our CAS activity there, because of no good water facilities, the villages of Savarkundla rely heavily on wells considering this there are thousands of wells in the region of Savarkundla built across the year 2000. While hunting Lions fell in the well unknowingly, so we as a group wanted to help the situation of the village by covering one of the wells. The well that we were assigned to cover was 35 feet in depth and the dimensions were  8 ft in width and 14 ft in length. So to figure this problem we collaborated with the organization ‘Rural Pleasure’ and decided to cover at least one well and show our goodwill to the villagers and save lives of a dozen of innocent Lions.

At start I wasn’t too sure whether I was going on the trip or not, reason being that I was a little busy with some family programs coming near tentative to the trip, but after thinking a lot on this I gathered a bunch of pros to go on this trip and that this is, that it’s a social activity also it will help me gain a lot of experiance and now I don’t regret it even a bit.

This activity included cutting, welding and even grinding the steel posts to make an innovative covering for a well. It secured all the three standards of CAS.

Going there, I comprehended my weakness which was to coordinate in a social event and that is one inspiration driving why I worked when everyone was offered a relief. That is one way I was most gainful and I truly felt I locked in for this. In spite of the way that, if I had worked with each other individual, I could have been more beneficial and adapted more.

The major troubles that I expected to go up against were that it was to a great degree brilliant and I had never worked any of these equipment types. At first, I was frightened of the flashes that left the machines, however I finally generated the courage to complete the activity.

Here are a few pictures of me working:

Also supervising some work!!

Learning outcomes which I accomplished are:

LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process. I needed to live in an open space with no fans or AC and needed to make my own particular bed. I likewise needed to figure out how to utilize devices to weld, penetrate and cut steel poles and the vast majority of us were students. Thus at to start with, I attempted to utilize those devices however on the second day, I was acclimated with those instruments. I additionally needed to guarantee to utilize wellbeing gear as while welding my eyes could get harmed consequently I wore shades for assurance and utilized gloves when I needed to utilize the penetrating machine. I was instructed how to utilize the machines by the educators and they showed how to utilize them and the things we needed to contemplate like at which point the machine ought to be and how far do I need to remain from it while utilizing it.

LO4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences. There were just three days to take a shot at the cover subsequently I needed to finish the work doled out to me but since there were such a significant number of individuals at the principal day everybody figured the other individual will do it thus we finished less work. So on the following day, I chose to adhere to the work I was doled out. It was additionally exceptionally hot the following day, however, I continued working on the grounds that in the event that I didn’t remain focused on my errand then it might happen that the fence may go into disrepair since one individual did not do their work. We would not have possessed the capacity to make it if every one of us didn’t buckle down.

LO5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively. I couldn’t do much work on a principal day in light of the fact that everybody was taking the necessary steps they like exclusively henceforth it was getting turbulent so on the following day we made gatherings and appointed distinctive errands to each gathering, by doing as such the gathering would guarantee they finish their undertaking and different gatherings would do likewise. Along these lines, we can help each other and finish our work all the more effectively.

LO6: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance. Asiatic lions were going to get terminated and I think the annihilation of creatures is a worldwide issue. There are currently just 523 Asiatic lions alive and by building the fence for the well I helped in diminishing their passings.

Overall, the experience was shocking and energizing moreover. To be sure, even after this industrious work, I don’t regret a single minute spent to help the lions. Serving the overall population without expecting anything back truly can breathe a sigh of relief. I feel lucky to have been a piece of this CAS trip. I’m thankful to the school to organize this trip and to give me this great opportunity.
