2903 Final Reflection

Reflection

In the last couple of weeks I started the community service in Al Ain. I choose AL Ain because I live in Al Ain, and I can not be arsed to volunteer in Abu Dhabi due to the distance. I volunteered through out organization that was inspired by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed. It’s called TAKATOF and it has branches around Abu Dhabi city, one branch is located in Al Ain where I decided to volunteer. I volunteered 5 times in Breast Cancer Event, Al Ain Disable sport Club, Blood donation, Collecting cloths and Winter Distributing Jackets. TAKATOF has a lot of volunteering types, and it always comes depending in the time of the year, that’s why I volunteered in 5 different Events unlike my teammates who volunteered in Abu Dhabi.

I had a lot of fun and interesting moments when I volunteered in Al Ain city. The best moment so far was in AL Ain Disable Sport Club, when we volunteered to play and entertain the disabled children there. We played football and them and then we played some small games at the club. The best moment is me experiencing what I call real volunteering, like for example interacting with the disabled children and learn about how they are disabled. And then getting to know them more. I can describe the experience that I had there, but I am so satisfied by volunteering there. The sad moment happened in the same day where the the children didn’t like the idea of us leaving after the games and I felt sad for them.

Everyday I say that my time in volunteering was worth the try. I learned and experienced many new stuffs, and more importantly I supported and improved my community with the donations, poverty, disables and cancer events. I learned that God gives and takes, if you think that X man have a better life than you, then look at the Y man who doesn’t even have a leg or cant walk extr and extra. I also learned how to get along with new people, since I spent all my life with relatives and neighbors.

To any student who read this, thank you for reading and I advise you to give the course a try. This course will help me overcome difficulties in life and also engineering wise.
