1st day volunteer 24th of March




Today 24th of March. I went to ANDEC at 12 pm. I met Eman Altamimi head of Education Special Needs Sector, to collect my volunteer vest. She told me about what I have to do and to work with whom. I want to the conference hall and I met three of my friend they were volunteer. We were sharing the work sometimes I go for registering the visitors to give them a certificate that they have joined the conference. But they have to attend at least for two days to give them a certificate of Appreciation. I get surprised when I was listening presenter when he was talk about special needs that they don’t stop they are trying till they got or reach what they needs. After that I want to announce for the people to come for the conference about blind woman and what she did. It was a hard part because I have to tell everyone in the exhibition come and join the conference, and some people ignoring me while I inviting them. Finally, the conference finished and I don’t have to anything to just to go back to my lovely home after hard day.
