2903 Final reflection

1.In the volunteering program I chose Zayed higher organization Its official and local center for taking care of special needs people . they accept their patients who is  80%  mentally and physically disabled and the people who is less than 80% they come every morning from sunday to Thursday

From 8 am to 2 pm as normal school timing. Also the center has 4 sections for patients from 7 to 12 years old , 12 to 16 yrs old

Girls and women section and young and old patients . They have  workshops for making candles and carpentary workshop which they use their limited ability to make frames for pictures and many things . they provide for them standing moving chair which makes the disable patients feels as he can walk . Also they provide for them hydro treatment every week

2. the best part of volunteering was to help the students with their work in workshop . the project was about to make frame for pictures  I was afraid in the beginning because for them  hard to handle the workshop tools  specially the cutting machine because it s very sharp but I surprised from their performance some of them were better than me in cutting the wood . More over I enjoyed playing with kids specially mohamad al shamsi   because he was intelligence student

In the beginning he was afraid of me but when he felt safe he was very excited .

3. my efforts contributes by support the community by volunteering and helping out the people who really in need

Because in life we help many people but after that we recognized that they don’t deserve that help but the special needs people  they really deserve every second we spend with them .

4. In the end I have learned many things about being useful in the community before I hear about volunteering but I did not feel it is interesting,  but now I know how it’s more valuable than it looks . Many people don’t know about this thing from now I will try my best to make people change their mind about volunteering and this will not be my last volunteering time.

First Day Of Volunteering

In the first day of volunteering we had an orientation for the all sections in the ZHO .And miss Suad Al hosany she guided us to these sections which include critical care section,young section,ladies section and middle and old age sections,but we could not see lady and critical case section because they have their privacy and medical reasons .After that we saw all facilties they provide for their patients from medical care ,entertainment, learning by doing practical things such as drawing ,making candels .

ZHO center  only accepts patients who they are 80% disabled and who they are less than this number they come every day for learning classes then they leave as normal students.  They have doctors available 24 hrs for any emergency cases and normal check up.They try their best to make the special needs people improve their limited abilities by providing walking machine and they provide also hydro treating machine they use it every single day .In the end miss suad she told us what we should  do for next week and we little discuss about how we can be helpful.
