Volunteer is a big term and one’s can’t actually know what it means until he/she experience it. I want to talk about the amazing volunteer experience I had with this course, which at first I didn’t like the idea that much I thought it was just a waste of time. 

Our leader told us to make a volunteer work and we as a group chose to volunteer at Takatof organization in the Ice Rink I helped the player with their needs of water food and everything this is amazing I did this totally free just out of respect of their amazing effort and for the sake of humanity itself. I had a lot experience in takatof that i understand how important helping people is. It was amazing at helped me a lot understand the meaning of humanity because in order to help someone you shouldn’t wait to receive something back. One’s should help other people out of the sense of humanism and not to get paid. I am happy because I went through this amazing experience. I had an experience that how I communicate with different culture people.

Of course, I can’t forget to give my greeting to the amazing organizations across UAE because they helped increasing awareness about volunteer work.

Finally, I would like to thank my leader whom I gain a lot out of his experience. He helped us in doing volunteer work. This course was a great because I learned new aspects in life, which helped me to change my future vision of volunteering, and I am ready to volunteer in my free time to help other people in my country.

Volunteering project

Have a look at this page on the internet: http://www.worldvolunteerweb.org/browse/sectors/education.html

This page has some ideas about how people can volunteer through education projects.

Once you have read through the pages, you need to work in groups of 4 or 5.

In your groups, come up with a project which you think can be advanced through an educational setting. There are no restrictions, but your idea should be innovative and should aim at adding real value to the people you are trying to help.

As you are working through your project, one of you should be putting together a short presentation (Powerpoint, etc) to explain to the rest of the group what you are trying to achieve.

You should aim to cover the following points, at least.

1.             What are the aims of the project?

-The aim of volunteering is to help other people.

4.             Who would be volunteering? Why?

Everybody can volunteer, with Takatof. They welcome everyone to help them. Also when they volunteer they gain new experience and helping them to fill their free time.

5.             What are the benefits your project could bring to the target audience?

The benefits for the audience are that can help them to learn from us when they watch us what we are doing.

-Also the second benefit for them that they can become a better persons in life. And change their lifestyle.

- The last thing that it can improve your confidence when u different activates.

6.              How would you look into launching your project with reference to the relevant authorities in the UAE and in the country you have targeted?

7.              What problems do you think you might come across and how would you try to get around them?

I've overseeing the clubs during exercise with Abdullah Saleh and also we help them when they needed something.

As we go to the break room and make sure the players do not lose anything.

I have been hilarious and sad at the same time !

I went today to the Zayed Sports City in the Ice Skating Rink to volunteer in Takatof to organize hockey games in the Ice Skating Rink. In the beginning I organized entry and exit of the crowd in the stadium and I enter the players to their places allocated.

When the game started, I've returned to the top row of the crowd to help the masses if they need something. After the match ended, I went to the food processing room and i divide the food for the players. When I've finished the game we took a break for half an hour after that there was a little work and then we recorded out at 5 PM.

I've completed in this day 4 hours of volunteer work. It was a very fun day and I met a lot of friends because it was my first day
