Volunteers Meeting (23 March 2014)

   Today, Sunday 23rd March 2014(5:00pm-6:00pm), we had a meeting at ADNEC with the operating team at Abilities me Conference. It was mainly to give us an idea how to deal with special needs,for example not offering help to them unless they ask for it because they've been living in this condition for many years and are capable of handling the situation. Also, we had a tour around the exhibition halls to know where the places are and guide the visitors. In addition, we were told about some of the people exhibiting there like special needs centres that are announcing their opening during this exhibition, companies selling automobiles suitable for people with wheel chairs( some of the automobiles shown are from London), companies selling technology for special needs and the places where sports activities will take place. At last, we were told what we'll be doing during our volunteering time mainly welcoming visitors, guiding them and registering people's information for the conference.
This is an automobile suitable for children with physical or mental disabilities, it can sense the presence of something in front of it and change its direction of movement.
