What are the needs of the participants?  Specific needs both Mental AND Physical

 To be successful in this project; you must have the drive to do it willingly; we must attend every session we have without being late or leaving early. Help and interact with the participants so he could enjoy him self and learning from this opportunity and recoding what happens each day.

To satisfy the needs of the participant; first we must Speak normally and directly to them. Not speaking to someone who is with them. The participants often have their own ways of doing things. So “Ask before you help”. We shouldn’t refer to the disability, and never use phrases like “handicapped”. Being patient and making sure we understand their needs. Don't touch any assistive devices, including wheelchairs, unnecessarily unless it's an emergency.

7.    What are the specific Benefits for the participants? (Both volunteers and recipients)

This project will help us as HCT students to improve our communicating and social skills, how to deal with people with different problems of all ages and will change our prospective of life so we can appreciate what we have.

At the end both of us should have made new friends, getting to interact with people with different backgrounds and learned from each other and from this opportunity.  

8.   Any potential problems you see arising?

 Every program has small problems while starting and facing these issues is a must, we may face problems with communication and trust; what do they want and how can we help them or satisfy them according to their need, after introducing our self to them a talk to each other and letting them know that we are here for them. There for it’s a mater of time to get use to each other.
