Our group decided to work with the "special needs" and made many visits to Conductive Education (which is a special school for kids with mental and physical disabilities to give them the extra help that they need in throughout their early childhood. Our experience with pbl had constant messages with Conductive to see when we could go see them - following with the visit to conductive to find out what we could do to help out :), That visit resulted with us going back the following Tuesday and Thursday and we got to spend time with the kids and give the teachers a time out for a little period of time.
Our goals were to act in the community and help out where we could - Personally I think that was achieved as with the opportunity going to conductive and helping out with the kids we had the best experience and smiles and laughter we will surely never forget.
Personally I think I tried to do things my way and I sort of took over with contacting everyone and organising how what when why who with going to and from conductive. This is experience will truely never be forgotten as it gave not just me but also the boys a big insight to all kids aren't like your average sibling or cousin. The kids are still exactly the same but just with a different way of learning.
If I was to do this again , I would stay with the same subject but I think I would allow more time to get our actions done so we can plan way more and have a way bigger impact on the community , helping out and making those people more happy would mean everything to me.
