In 14-Apr-2014 we start our project in the Future center, this center like a school for people who have a disabled like can't talk or walk or insufficiency to do any think in the life, when visit the center my friend and I was think the people in the canter was completely disabled from doing any thing, that what we think but when visit the classes and saw the students our view was changed, because the student there have hope and wish, so they know how to use the technology like the smart phone, more of that they study math and know how to calculated and using a calculator.
Each students get a group of students and my friend Abdul Hakeem and I we work together so we take six students, every group of student have schedule and every class 30 mins, so we present three classes with our group and they are sport, music and math that was from 8:30 till 10:00. The center give as a job and it like a teacher job, we teach the students and share their moments, so that give us a perfect experience and give the students a nice feel with a good hope because I think they hope to be like us without any disable. In center their not allowed to take a picture or video so that maybe a problem.

§ Tel: +971 2 5533506
Time / Schedule:
Our group will
volunteer for 5 weeks in the center starting from 14th April, 3
hours per week divided into two days.
The schedule will help us to end up with 15 hours of volunteering, but
we may add more hours after week 1.
Target audience:
Mental
disability, Autism spectrum disorder, multiple disability, Down syndrome, physical
disability and speech disorder students.
Students are from different ages and nationalities.
Activities our project will involve:
Sport
classes.
IT
skills classes.
Art
classes.
Outside
trips (if it possible).
Afternoon
activities (football or basketball).
Aims of the project:
This
project has many purposes and outcomes for both of volunteers and target
audience. Us volunteers, we are going to
gain experience and background about education volunteering work.
We will learn more about disabilities and how
to treat people with disabilities and disorders, especially that we will learn
by doing and dealing with them.
This
project is a part of this course, by doing it on the best way we will pass this
course with the best outcomes.
Planning
and preparing is one of the most important purposes of this project, we will
improve our planning skills.
Try
to help the target audience and people in the future center as much as we can
during our volunteering time.
Come up with
new ideas to improve the center services and help the managers with some future
possible plans.
Benefits of project on target audience:
The
philosophy of the center says “Individuals with disabilities have the right to
appropriate education and intervention.
They are to be accorded every opportunity for growth and development”. We are dealing with disability people and
they have special needs and we should know what they need from us, we have to
make sure from everything before we meet them.
Students there are so sensitive and some actions that we see regular may
have a negative reflect on them. For
this purpose, the best way to get ready is to think about their needs and put
them in levels:
a)
Level
one needs
Understanding:
Students will feel more comfortable if they find someone who understands them,
and by this way the education process will be easy on both of us.
Time
– Patient: We should be patient and give the students time, and we always have
to remember that we are dealing with disability students.
Support:
The purpose of the project is to help these students, and they need moral
support more than any other kind of supports.
b)
Level
two needs:
Sympathy:
To support disability students and help them to improve their skills to involve
in the society we have to show them kindness and love.
Listen-notice:
If they feel comfortable they will try to say their thoughts and ideas and we
should listen. Sometimes actions say
more than words, so noticing is not less importance than listening.
c)
Level
three needs:
Opportunity: Disability students need an opportunity to show people
around them how good they are and they are not on the same situation anymore,
we have to give them opportunities.
Motivation: they may not success from the first opportunity; they
need motivation to try again and again and keep improving and learning.
b) Level four needs:
Confidence: Students will gain confidence and believing in
themselves by time and after getting their needs from the past levels.
Acceptance: After getting their previous needs, students will have
to get the acceptance from the society and people to live naturally.
Challenges:
We are going to face many challenges and we are going to pass
them. Some of these challenges are:
- The acceptance of the students.
- We are not allowed to take photos or videos without permission, and
by this way our blog reports are going to be weak.
- The center strict rules (for instance, no phones are allowed during
the volunteering hours .. etc)
These challenges will be passed easily and we are going to achieve
our target and we will end up with a great experience and project at the end of
the course.
