On my first day in the printing workshop I got to met  Mr. Hazza the assistant coach, he had to explain some things related to the workshop and how things happen here. After that I went to take a look at the work done by the students, in order not to exaggerate already was an amazing thing and creativity.
In fact, I was impressed by this workshop, unlike what happened in the rest of the workshops, and for this I have decided to complete the remaining period of volunteering here in this workshop.

Week#2: The first day for me of volunteering

Subject: First Day of volunteering project

In the first week of volunteerism in Zayed Higher Organization, I came at 7:50 AM and I waited until all group members arrive.  At 8:30 AM when khalisa arrived we met two female supervisors t to give us tours for the workshops. After being separated for two groups , me and saleh we chose Carpentry workshop from the three other workshops.




1- The first workshop is electricity workshop:

2-      The second workshop is metalwork:
 

 3-      The third workshop is printing :

4-      The last workshop in Zayed Higher Organization is carpentry workshop. In this workshop workers made geometric forms and furniture:

 

Today it was good we had fun with students with disabilities , also we learned a lot of stuff such as cutting the wood and clean it to do some professional forms and shapes. Also we were able to find out way to communicate with this group. And we had to talk with some of the students with disabilities to see their works performed by. They have good talent and the disability does not prevent or stopping you of doing whats do you like. 

 And this is one of wonderful student work :

it's look like a 3D picture, they made it by a normal wood with a glue only ( something great ) ^_^

6.    To be successful what need to be done?  Specific activities and efforts?

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

Ex: In the end, students must be able to type 20wpm English typing. Specificy 

 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.
