Commit to spending one hour this week with an elderly person in your community. Plan an activity together and reflect on what you both learned from the experience.

I can use my musical talent to bring joy and comfort to the elderly by performing at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and community centers. Music has a powerful effect on memory and emotions, making it especially beneficial for seniors, including those with dementia or Alzheimer's. By playing familiar gospel, jazz, or old Caribbean songs, I can help evoke cherished memories, reduce feelings of loneliness, and create a soothing atmosphere. I can also organize interactive music sessions where seniors can sing along or share their favorite songs, fostering a sense of connection and engagement. Through volunteering my time and talent, I can uplift their spirits, create meaningful moments, and positively impact their well-being through the healing power of music.
In Richland Park, a community affected by climate change and agricultural challenges, I believe my skills can make a difference. I could use my talents with music and organize music and planting programs for the elderly, helping them engage with the therapeutic benefits of nature and music. I could also host music performances and sing for them, offering emotional support through song. Additionally, I also like to plan programs, Therefore, I could plan educational workshops on sustainable farming practices, teaching them how to grow climate-resilient crops, thereby improving their food security.
