LSH 2903 Community Service Final Reflection

1: Organization

In the UAE there are many volunteering organization and Takatof is one of these. Takatof is voluntary social program which established in 2007. They communicate with any organization need help in there events and any one can be part of this social programs. There are many projects along the year and that depend on the events we have in our country also the other social events in the organizations that will need help. 

2: Best Part of Volunteer

The best thing in volunteering that is you feel the main of social responsibility, and feel you are an important part of our country development. As any work I faced many challenges, dealing with people that I do not know them was hard because they have they own way of thinking and deal with things, so it was take a time to understand them and feel comfortable to be with them. 

3: Support the community

There are many advantages in this experiment, feeling as a part of community and can help the country by doing easy things make my social responsibility become more. Have an experience with dealing with others will help my communicate skills to be developed. I will be happy to be a volunteer again in the future by same organization because they effort many projects and they are very organized and have good plans.

4: Short summary

Formula 1 is one of most important events which take place in Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. I volunteered in this event  for 30 hours. In this project I have to deal with visitors are come to event.  We have to give information about what they will expect to see and answer their questions. But the most important thing is not to do anything extra without our leader permission. Also we have to communicate with others to share the information or deal with problems if we faced any of any it.
