Self-Reflection
1- Zayed Higher Organization
is an organization that teach and trainer people with disability different
things. They have three major levels in the center, the first level is the
school, in the school they teach the students reading, writing, and speaking. The
second level is the training, they put the students in different workshops, to train
them for their job. After the workshop they have to finish the third level
which is the farm, the organization has a farm, it is 10 Km from the center, in
the farm they give the students the last train before they graduate. Also the
center has sport trainers, they help the students to walk and overcome the disability.
I volunteered at Zayed Higher Organization for 25 hours in five weeks.
2- The best part of
volunteering for me, when I change the workshop every week, meet a new students
every day, working in team, and got different experiences from working with the
instructors.
3- No one can deny
that volunteering improve, support the community, and has many benefits. In my
opinion volunteered at Zayed Higher Organization has more benefits. For
example, when I start volunteering at the center, I noticed that the students
shay of me, and ignored me, I think this happened because they have faced people
outside does not respect them, underestimate them, or make them a jock. By the
time they start talk and work with me, because I respect them. In my opinion,
this will help them to connect with others in the community, and help them to
improve the community.
4- I have learned a
lot from this volunteering. For example, I learned how welding the steel, make table,
cover the gifts, and dealing with people with disability. The most important
thing I have learned is dealing with people with disability. Before I been a volunteer,
I thought all the special needs are the same, but now I know there are many
types of disability, and each type you should deal with him in different way.
Mr. Helal the instructor at metal workshop told me there are two major types of
disability, the first one you get it before you birth, and the second one you
get it after you birth, it is usually a physical disability caused by accident.
The First type have many kinds of it, I knew a few form Mr. Helal. For example,
Physical disability, Sensory disability (Vision, Hearing), Intellectual
disability, Developmental disability, and emotional disabilities. Each disability
you should deal with it in different way.
5- In conclusion, volunteering
give us a lot of benefits, that we need in our life. Also it is help the community,
and develop it.
