In one of my previous posts I promised a promise. Here is it's link;
This post is 2 months after that post was being published.
The accomplishments we have done might be normal or also abnormal to some people.
But here you go; since summer started there were a couple of events that we've done.
First of all, we visited Bahrian Downsyndrome society and met an amazing little girl who laughed at us because we were continuously taking photos. We were actually a joke to her. LOL. I even learned what the Downsyndrome really is and that they are just like us! Yes, like us. They are the most amazing people a person could meet.
Third, for grgaoon we had three events. First was with the cancer patients kids in salmaniya hospital. Honestly, it was the most depressing place i've every been to. However, as soon as we met the patient, THEY gave us the hope with their amazing smiles. There wasn't any patient whom we visited with our grgaon giveaway who haven't had a smile on his/her face!

We also organized one of the big grgaoon events in the central governerate with about 1000 citizens attending the event. It was organized by the friendship society of the blind.
Last but not least, we visited the Bahrain Mobility international and distributed gergaoon . The place where I really learned that nothing was impossible! I met a man who the society calls 'disabled' he could hardly talk and was on a wheel chair but studied accounting and finance in London. He's an employee and the vice president of their center. A passionate person. Who proved that disability is in the minds not in people.
We also organized a championship for blind and disabled. It was just A M A Z I N G watching them play! Indescribable feeling. Give yourself a moment and imagine that you can't see and you are in a field. You are given a ball and you're supposed to play. The game is based on the hearing senses as the ball has bells which makes sounds whenever it moves. Wallah, if I had a chance I'll definitely play it!
& there is a project we are working on now which is collecting dontaions to buy Eid traditional sweets for the needy families with a target of 100 families.
We are also the winners in the social media award for the best student project.
You think we are over?
