“Volunteering with AMAANA gives me a great sense of hope for my community. Learning from Ms. Rana and Ms. Rawida has allowed me to gain confidence in my ability to teach and accept others as they are. They've encouraged me to be a better advocate with those with special needs inside my community.

HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS
I started volunteering at AMAANA with the intention of providing support for kids and adults with mental and physical disabilities, hoping to help in anyway that I could. At first, I only planned to only show up when I could be of help. However, when our Saturday school started, it came to my realization that the students were more than capable of learning what people without disabilities learn and even better. At that point, I knew that I had to stay committed to this great cause and made sure to show up as frequently as I could to the Saturday school. I even started scheduling my weeks around the Saturday school in order to ensure I’ll be there.
Building a connection with these kids is one of the greatest and most meaningful things I’ve done in my life because it feels so great to have an impact on people who are, unfortunately, disregarded in our society. Making the kids and adults feel welcomed in a safe environment where they can learn at their own pace made me a better person and gave me an insight into the lives of families with people with disabilities. I hope to build on to the current work we do at AMAANA and continuing to make a positive impact on our people of Jannah.”
