Theme:
All the World's a Stage for God's Responsible Stewards for Creation
The CA-Ed Activities are Learning Episodes for Future Mentors. Cherish each Activity and Learn Values from it.
Open your arms to change, but dont let go of your values. Dalai Lama All the World's a Stage for God's Responsible Stewards for Creation. We are actors and actresses of our lives. We could be many different things at different times so as a person we could be, teacher, mentor, parent, friend, etc. The world, means, Gods stage. Its all up to us how we play our roles. The concept for this years CA-ED Week is Environmental, because of what hit the Visayas Region this past month, it is just fitting to dedicate our activities to and for the environment. The CA-ED Family will be divided into four (4) teams, each representing the four elements, namely Water, Earth, Fire and Air. The following are some of the Values that may encounter during the CA-ED Week.
Theme:
Appreciation. Taking a brief moment to say, thank you, or acknowledging the exceptional
job of co-members is not only encouraging for the beneficiary to hear; it fills your soul with more appreciation too.
Belief in Others. It can be your attitude; your resolve, that can lift someone up when they are
down. Their doubt can be erased by your confidence. And something else amazing happens: belief is contagious the more you believe in others; the more you will continue to believe in yourself. Caring. Caring for others, as well as self-care, allows you to extend a helping hand and to pass along some unexpected grace. When we take the time to demonstrate we care; we demonstrate the fact there are still plenty of good people left in this world. Commitment. Commitment shows loyalty and it can show bravery and tenacity as well. A commitment is a promise made and an expectation we have created. Honouring our commitments can make the difference between achieving whats most important to us or feeling disappointed and defeated. Compassion. We are all part of this thing called the human condition. No doubt we have different points-of-views, but at the end of the day, we still need to take care of one another. Cooperation. Even the most complex tasks and assignments can be made simpler when we focus on the solutions together. 2
Dedication. No matter how the circumstances may change, unless you are in a physically or emotionally abusive situation, stay the course and never give up. I would rather be called a failure than a loser. Losers give up when things become too difficult. Failures are folks who have just not found success but will. So, call me a failure if you like, because it implies I havent stop trying.
Devotion. Some days are just naturally better than others. Its the same way in our
interpersonal relationships and in our faith. Things can get unstable at times, but staying devoted to a cause or to a person through the uncertain times is our rock to grasp when our faith and our foundation is shaky.
Effort. No matter the outcome, there is always value in the effort when the effort is authentic
and well-intended. Forgiveness. To be clear, the purpose of forgiveness is not to absolve someone of the sin(s) committed against you; but to free yourself from the pain and the anger that is keeping you stuck. When you forgive, you are better able to let go of the past and keep moving forward with your life. Friendship. Friends support us and they provide an unfiltered view of our actions when asked. Friends sustain us through difficult periods and join us for the events we celebrate. 7 Environmental Principles. 1. Nature knows best. 2. All forms of life are important. 3. Everything is connected to everything else. 4. Everything changes. 5. Everything must go somewhere. 6. Ours is a finite Leadership, Patience, Creativity, Craftiness, Diligence, Initiative among others.
