My Self Reflection

Volunteer

(Reflection)

Throw my volunteer with takatof, which is a company that organizes many events in the UAE. I have learned many things such as caring about people, break the language barrier, know people and staring helping them, and also stop being selfish person.

This kind of things helped me to change my life because in the past all I was thinking about is me. I didn’t have to help anybody or care about anybody else expects me. But when I have done It does have positive effect on me and my community because when I volunteer that’s make me better person in different way like how I communicate with people. And when I volunteer I make my community better by showing the others what I do and they learn from me. The volunteering experience for sure going to change my future because all the good things I have done. I will keep it for rest my life and keep doing it.

Next time if I had to do all over again I would love to volunteer in different place because I was in hockey tournament where everybody was in good shape and healthy and they didn’t need that much of help but we wanted to work. I would love to volunteer with hospitals or infirmity because these kinds of people that really needs help and caring from the community. In my opinion they didn’t get much love and care but with my group and me we would like to help then a lot and spread all over there hearts.

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.

( Takatof # Second Day 8/16

In the Second day of volounteering job with takatof, it was a very simple day for me and all six of us because it was a practice day for the Kuwait Team and no official matches between the teams.

We separate our duties from each other for example Abdullah sultan and Abdullah Awadhi  help the players to show them where they going to be sitting.

And the job that I did which is keep working on the gifts for the other teams. And we did transfer all the gift from place to another.

Also helped to Kuwait Team to with Training Material, we give them the water that they needed and training Materials.

They second day was much easier compared to the first day because it was a very simple job we had.

I have volunteered for 4 hours from 2 pm until 6 pm.
