Week2 of volunteering

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 That I learned when you teach someone about something you have to benefit him in every thing, 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

In 22 Oct 2015 (second week) I joined 2 workshop in ZHO. My first period was in carpentry workshop with the teacher Mr Ahmed Alhammadi and the second period was in Electronics workshop with other two teachers.

 I was really impressed about some of special needs who has very high and special performance. I asked question about that for their teachers, the answer was (This can happen after long time of dealing and teaching the special needs). One other important information that one of the ZHO teachers told me (special needs brain has like a smooth that you have to give them the information step by step if you want his/her performance to be on right way).

The need our interest for reaching to the normal people level after that science level. I don’t exaggerate because they have many things which we don’t have like they don’t getting bored from their work if they worked for the long term (more than 7 hours connected for example) reverse to the normal people.

My advice for ZHO to make genius department that no body can reach it except who are ready to be in the real labor market. This department major to make the last preparation for those kind of special needs for joining real labor market.    

One of those (dishes which was made by special needs) was beautiful gift for me from carpentry workshop
