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.

- Co-operation and teamwork between the volunteers

- Gain New Experience and change the lifestyle we had.

2.             Who are the target audience, and why?

The Target Audience are the citizens of UAE and Everyone Else.

To encourage them to volunteer and help them to become a better persons than they are.

3.             What activities would your project involve?

1-    We made Gift for Foreign players.

2-    Transfer Training Materials to them.

3-    Helping the referees with some paperwork.

4-    Organize the Fans Area…. Etc

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?

           We had a problem with communicate with foreign Hockey players. But we can improve it by improving our English and language.

You should aim at one or two of your group making a 4-6 minute presentation to the rest of the group explaining your findings.

Exercise #7

LSH 2903 – Community Service – Learning /  Exercise #7

Charity and Volunteering in the UAE - Information and Activities

The UAE is famous for its hospitality and the desire to give one's time and efforts to help other people.

When I travel to other countries and talk to people about my job, the students and the UAE in general, one constant thought I hear repeated is that the UAE is a very hospitable country and its people are very generous. People in the UAE often want to do things to help others, whether it is other UAE Nationals or people from other countries.

Within the UAE we see so many examples of people volunteering and giving to charities to try and help others. People do this out of the simple goodness of their hearts and to try to help other people to have a better life than they have at the moment. An obvious example is TAKATOF which promotes the idea of volunteering within the country.

Just last semester (March 2013) we had a major charity fundraising week when students, staff and teachers of ADMC raised 25,000 Dh to donate to a school in a poor village Cambodia.

The UAE is also very strongly represented in the international field of assisting people from other countries. It may be through the Red Crescent that people donate money, time or skills to try and help others. So much of the time when we hear about various international problems, the UAE is one of the first to step forward and provide assistance.
