Hello! My name is Shaan Patel, and I am a member of the 2023 Kid Governor's Cabinet. I work with Kid Governor Ellie Mendez and the other Cabinet Members to make a difference in Connecticut. It may seem impossible, since we are kids, but if I believe that if anyone puts their mind to it, they can get anything done!
Lately, I’ve been working on my platform, Valuing the Elderly. I’ve done 2 of my 3 points so far!
First, my school has made holiday cards for the elderly, including Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, and Valentine's Day. It was really fun making these cards and we hope the elderly felt happy and valued after receiving them.

Second, recently, 5th graders at my school hosted an event called "Readers Cafe." For the Readers Cafe, 5th graders brought grandparents or other special guests into school to read with them. It was a blast! I was so excited to see all the grandparents and special guests have a fun time! As a special treat, we also did a raffle for a gift card to a local business in my town.
Third, I made a presentation and a video with ideas for making cards for elders in your community. The link to the presentation is here: How To Make Cards For Elders.

As you can see, I've been working hard since Inauguration Day in January! If you want to help me make the elderly feel more valued, email me at Cabinet@CT.KidGovernor.org. I can help you think of ideas, make a plan, and figure out what you want to do! Thank you.
