3.   Organization – Where is the headquarters? Who is CEO?  
      
There’s only one centre in Abudhabi, and it has no CEO from my own researching. It being a non-profit organization, the Centre thrives on the benevolence of the various sectors of the community, who provide support in the form of cash donations, student sponsorships, and free use of facilities, professional services on pro-bono, voluntary work and special student activities and events.

4.   Areas/ countries active?

The future Centre is active in the local field, in abudhabi, but they take the students for trips out side the country, we hope that one day the open a new centre In every Emarah and may it goes outside the UAE, so we will spread the knowledge world wide.  
                                          
5.   Target recipients?

This is a centre for people who have special needs and some disabilities, so we are going to help them, and there are people with different ages, they need to be able to have a normal life.

6.   Benefits/ resources provided?  Short term vs. long term?

As we know they’re people just like us, but what do you think they need ? they need to be treated with respect and we don’t look at them like we are looking at something weird , but they need from us to teach them how to have a normal life and to train them how to face their problems, they need to be involved in the society like everyone else. They need to have fun and improve their skills in many things like art for example, to do their favorite hoppy with their friends.  


7.   General profile of a volunteer – Who would/should get involved?

Everyone is able to volunteer in the future centre, and there’s an easy way to volunteer is by applying in their website, or you can contact with them and they will more then happy to help you. But the question now is how can you help them and what can you do for them, you can help them by treat them good with respect, and you should be patient with them because they have some disabilities that make their life hard and you should help them making it easier and to have a normal life. This thing will make you feel good about yourself, I’m already excited about it, when I help someone to  make him smile, especially if they have disabilities in something, it means so much to me.
