Self-Reflaction

Self-Reflection 







Volunteers  play a crucial part in helping us bring about lasting improvements in the quality of life for disabilities people.Either you give a couple of hours , a day or a year ; i really appreciate the time that I spent with them. During my volunteering experience with Zayed Higher Organisation at Abilities me Exhibition , I got rare experience . There is two sides of it , first i will start with positive side which is giving to our community , develop our organisation , problem solving , team work and communication skills . Second ,the negative sides were the limit of time to learn how to deal with special needs people, there is not too many people visited this exhibition, as they have to support those category of society.



I learned from this experience that the world never stops on special needs life, but they still have the ability and hope. They can do a lot and they can give the community as we do, but they need the chance and support to prove themselves. 



After this experience  my vision was totally changed as i had fear to deal with special needs people. I thought that they are not able to work but now I knew they area able to do anything they want no matter what type of disabilities that they have , they still can give on their way.





In conclusion , I hope that every person in the world can understand those category of people and give them the chance to work in their company , respect them and do not consider them with compassion. Finally,I would like to repeat this experience and discover their worlds more to support them.

Zayed Higher organisation Prjoect

Third Day #26-03-2014

Subject : Day 4 in our volunteering project


Time:12.00pm

Location: ADNEC / HALL 10


Today was our last day at the abilities exhibition, as usual I went to the Emirates Autism Society stand to follow up with our volunteering  work.  But the new things that today i got alot of benefits from helping many of the disabilities with thier drawing after setting  with them and asking them if they have any ideas that they want to present in the paper so they were happy. While they were painting I asked them about thier abilities and  what they are able to do other than drawing ? , they surprised me when they told me that they are men sales and they are planting plants in the arboretum, I asked them : 
where are you working? 

They Answered: in the desert group .

me asked: whats your name?

Everyone answered with their names (Abdulla , Salah , Hareb , jafar)

After that I tried to help them with thier drawing. Hareb was asking me for ideas, so I told him you have to think about it because you are smart enough to come up with nice ideas, then he told me that he wanted to draw a luxes car logo so I tried to help him step by step to do that. First I got lexus logo for him from the Internet, then I draw a circle on my paper and  asked him to do the same thing. After that I draw for him disconnected dots and he started to follow up. I gave him colour to paint the logo and luxes letters. At the same time I was following salah and Abdullah, Abdullah draw two cars with cloud and sun, salah draw UAE flag with flowers and grasses . After that i took their drawings pictures and I pasted them on the wall and I thanked them. I went to their stand to  interview their manager Ms.Reem Saeed Algaith and I also interviewed Jafar one of the disabilities who work with them. Later on the rest of the desert group decided to join us at our stand to draw like their colleagues, I took them to our stand and at the end of the day I got 12 drawings which was really amazing. I felt that I achieved something and their manger . Ms Reem Al Gaith was surprised, because she didn't know that they love to draw as well as the plantings. In addition some of them were talented in sports and they participated in the olympics games like the swimmer Abdulla Mubarak. At the end of the day I got my volunteering certificate from Zayed higher organisation as I completed 16 hours of vlounteering work and beside that I got an amazing experience which really lead me to discover myself in dealing with this category. I wish that I achieved something today to help those people whose part of this community to deliver thier massage to the people  out there in the society, that they have abilities more than what the others thought about them and I was so happy to draw the smile on their faces by chatting with them , give them the passion and encourage them in a short time.



There will be an interview video with Ms. Reem Al Gaith here

Difficulty in dealing with deaf people, or if autistic children were present we don’t know how to deal with them if they got anxious due to presence of a lot of people do we get closer or keep for away. Also it would be difficult to deliver our message to the audience that special needs are useful and can achieve a lot even if it was in their own way that we might not understand.
