Final Reflection

The Final Reflection.

The Exhibition was so interesting. I've learnt a lot during this volunteer or visit. I was so happy, glad and proud that i did volunteer to this exhibition, the way how disabled smile and we smile back was really a great feeling. I will always support these people and i will always volunteer for them. They made me a better person on many ways and i have learnt a things i never realized just until i met these people. We helped them as they are normal people, we talked to them as they are wise, we considered them as they are our family. This was an absolute grateful thing that i did on my entire life. I've learnt that we should be patients no matter what happen and be happy for what we have got and never look to what people have, we just be thankful for what we have. They believed there are a hope and i also believe that after i saw their smile on their face. Also i have learnt that no matter what we should never give up on something and we have to move on to keep this life easier. I believe in these people that some of them are talented on something that we even don't know how to use same as their talent. It was a great moments we spend with the people there and i would be there again and i will always be helping the disabled and support them.  

Volunteering in ZHO

Day 1 -

At the first day , so many audience came to visit the Abilities Me exhibition. It was made for handicap people or disabilities.Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubark came to the exhibition to support these people. I worked at the beginning as a volunteer who's trying to help people when they ask me to or when i ask them to. I helped two blind men they were lost and they wanted to get out from there. We talked and had chat they seemed so happy for what they have and they don't look at the what they don't have which i learnt from them that wisdom, and just be thankful for what i got.

Also we gave the people who attend the conference a Certificate.We found many interesting things that may made for the first time in the world to help the disabilities people. The handicap basket ball team of  UAE came to play on the field and they were having fun like there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Day 3 -

On the third day we didn't work that much , there wasn't audience that we expected to come and also we closed the conference and the rest people came to visit the workshop as the doctors present the products there.We checked all the products since we were free and it was so amazing. Many new things that invented for the disabilities people to keep them in a better life, we took pictures of it so we can show the other people how amazing it was.
