Week2 of volunteering

In 22 Oct 2015 (second week) I joined 2 workshop in ZHO. My first period was in carpentry workshop with the teacher Mr Mohamed Alhammadi and the second period was in sewing workshop Mr.Alaa.

Second week of our volunteer in ZHO was a new challenge for us that we got a lot of new information which was really benefit for us. I joined Abdulrahman in the first workshop because I didn’t found Ms.Maitha to tell me which workshop I should join. I learned when you teach someone about something you have to benefit him in everything, what does that mean? My major in carpentry for example so I will not just focus in teaching special needs about carpentry, while I will try to teach them about ethical rules in general (without pressuring them) in depending to my life experience. That exactly the method which I saw the most workshops in ZHO are using.

 What is their efficient daily program?

1. Starting the day by reading Al-Fatihah from The Koran which take less than 2 minutes.
2. Review about safety rules and workshop rules.
3. Academic skills review.
4. Craft skills review and completing daily activities.
5. Finally arrange and organize the workshop.

The second workshop was sewing and it was amazing to meet the students there and the teacher. They were working on making hand band with the threads and at the same time they were learning the colors, in the begninig I just was see them while they working then I help them with what I can, then Mr.Alaa and one of the special needs teached me how can I make the hand band it was fun and they gave me the band which I did gift for me.
