Self Reflection

For this course we had a volunteering to do so we spend time during the classes we take on volunteering to special needs. I define volunteering as spending time with helping people without any charges during the free times.

We set up in groups which my group is containing four students, and we volunteered in  organization which is part of Zayed Higher Organization called Abu Dhabi Club for special needs.  This Club is for disables who are players of all kind of sports to play it in the Olympics or matches. They inter the competition to wen, and they have lots of the gold medallions.

What I learned through this experience is that I never gave up on trying and doing things again and again, and I never regret on doing something even if it's wrong because I learn from my mistakes. The disables people taught me a lot during my volunteering with them. They taught me that I need to set up my goals for the future, and be ready and prepare all the time. I enjoyed volunteering with these people, and I'm happy that I took this experience and met them.

When I'm with them I feel comfortable and nothing is more important than just focusing on the reason of why I'm there. This experience is like a wonderful thing that I have it through my life, which I learned a lot about it and how does it mean to the people who needs help and we're there for them, they make you feel like a hero, I loved them a lot and I wish I keep going on this direction to learn more and to feel satisfied about my life.

The Last Day Of Volunteering ( 19th May 2014 )

Today, 19th May 2014 (5:00pm-7:00pm), was the last day of volunteering. In this day, we prepared the girls disable team for the basketball for the match that will be set up on 30th of May in Dubai. We played in team four on four to watch their playing and correct their mistakes for the match, and we took almost 2 hours in teaching them and training them. Before we go, we said goodbye and hugged each of them which it broke my heart because its the last day with them, of course we will not forget them, and they are part o our family now.
