Here are some content points to remember for your talks..
1.    Include background details/material on the organizers / organizations responsible for the conference and on the groups that participated. (Intro)
 
2.    Discus the benefits of volunteering and possible how this has developed in the UAE (history) –  Why is volunteering important in the UAE historically?
3.    Discuss the benefits that you (each speaker) gained & provided from the experience
4.    Possibly, touch on how this experience has changed your view of ‘special needs’ people, and how it will affect your future perceptions.
5.    Anything else you think is relevant to the presentation.
  Use your blog photos and posts to create a supporting PowerPoint slide show (you should not have more than 10 slides Total!). Each person should speak for 4-6 minutes each (maximum 8 mins).

For your Self-reflections: in class on 2June

For your Self-reflections: On 2nd June!!
1.       Use the materials/ ideas from your presentation to talk about volunteering and describe your experience.  
 
 -    Write about:  The Organization & purpose; the Staff / administration+ teachers; The students and who you worked with + your responsibilities; What you gave AND what you received??  
 
2.       Add:  What did you learn through this experience?
3.       And: How will this experience change your outlook on life; and make you a better person, at least a different person?
