More Good Deeds from Bahrain

2009-06-07T11:48:00.002+03:00

As a student who worked in “Good deeds” I will take this opportunity to briefly outline my experience during my two year tenure at “Good deeds, as I think that this project helps to spread the spirit of giving and sharing between all kinds of people.

Our main goal was helping sick and disabled children by providing them with our continuous support to free them from their sufferings. Firstly, we went to “Salmaniya medical complex“ and specifically to Pediatrics department, were we provided the children with many gifts planting joy in their small hearts and making us even happier in return.

Our second step was the charity day at school , we were divided into two groups , the first group was selling toys which were donated by our school students and the second group was to draw on students t-shirt , and the profit was given to those inflicted with down syndrome. However, we did many good deeds in our school including planting our school garden and other community services that we achieved in different departments at school.

I believe that working in “good deeds “project was an eye opening experience and an amazing opportunity which made me realize how little deeds we do ..

Good Deeds as the Mainstream

Dear Ismail

I would like first to thank you for your great project and the tremendously achieved deeds and the philanthropy that you and your students chose to foster. It is a great pride to iEARN community to have you among us and pace these gigantic steps towards perfection. It is my pleasure to thank you again and hope you more success.

To my great appreciation I found many positive aspects in this project. To start with I shall mention the altruist target and the obvious goal of keeping students conscience alive. Added to the courageously implemented vision and the philanthropic effort.

Indeed I think we share some of the same perspectives about good deeds and the altruist projects in general. Thus we may meet in so many points and have identical views. I know that the world could be changed by slightly paced steps. I believe also that your efforts to open the frontiers of learning in class to a wider day to day life class room where studen ts could learn from their interactivity and positive thought and additive tangible deeds

All those field visits and the campaigns are a great success with everlasting influence they are not only your students new gains the success I am glad to say is ours it is thanks to sharing them via iEARN forums and software announcement that all I earners will have an idea about how a world can be changed how a small plant can thrive bloom and spread the branches and gives shade over wider spaces and teaches new generations such good habits and faith that there is a brighter angles to the world.

I allow my self the chance to ask you about the secret of this success and how had it come to your mind the idea of launching such an enormous project with great motivation? And were there real obstacles and challenges? And how come that you overcame them? About your future prospect do you think that good deeds will be sooner the mainstream and notorious deeds only the exc eption ?

Please keep in touch and tell us about your recent deeds

Thanks again and welcome to collaborate like any positive iEARNERS should do

Teachers as Role Models

Hi Gioko,

I hope you are doing well with your project.
I like so much your ‘Good Deeds’ project. Certainly, it’s a splendid and noble dedication to carry out this wonderful project. In fact, I believe this is a significant "good deeds" initiative for the benefit of all the humanity. As you mentioned before, living in this egocentric and materialistic world, any good deed, be it small or big, is of an intrinsic value, there is so much to do to make our world a place for better living. Children should learn how to behave in ways that show care, brotherhood, mercy and sacrifice towards the other. They, also, should be involved in various activities to reflect upon their deeds.

I think that we, as teachers, have so many things to do to instill in our students good behaviors. Most of the students take us as their models. Thus, it is compulsory for us to be responsible, show respect, help incessantly, treat equally, advise nicely, show compassion, and say nice words… to induce students to do likewise.

I try together with o ther teachers in our high school to make students aware of the importance of all ‘Good Deeds’. We work in the school club on themes like civic conduct inside and outside the school, classmates’ relationships, poverty, voluntary work, and so on, in order to sensitize students to the fact that every good deed they do counts and can bring positive changes around.

Still, I always raise questions about what’s going on locally and globally in the world. How come that we haven’t yet been able to do good things to the people who suffer everywhere? Why do people still do not care when it comes to environmental issues?

For sure, if we help student to understand that every good deed is valuable, we can bring fabulous changes to our world. Isn’t it?

I wish you good luck with your project.

A Small Drop Runs a River

2009-03-11T06:51:00.002+02:00

It really showed how a simple deed would change society to the better. By involving students in that project, they are made to live the reality of villages. They also learn about their conditions by contact. They is no mediator between them. By combining inside and outside the classroom, you have succeeded in encouraging your students to take part in porgrammes that will improve their community.

I am doing the same with my class these days. We are having a two-week fund raising to help abandoned women in nursery homes. My students paid them a visit and inquired about their needs. Thus we tried to convince students, teachers and administrative staff to take part , too. My students and I are collecting anything that can help relieve the pain of those women.

I do believe that by exchanging and sharing such experiences, other people would take part, too. It is just a simple thing. Be ready to sacrifice one’s time for the benefit of others. Moreover, when iearners read your participation, they would certainly look around them for needy people or dirty streets or just visit hospitals. They would support the sick whose families are away by visiting them from time to time and start chatting with them to boost their morale.

Yet, a lot of questions rose up : How can we convince people to take part in such projects ? Why do people fight only for their rights and they are not ready to fulfill their obligations ? When will people understand that good deeds can save them, their families and society as a whole ? When will people be convinced that a small drop and a small drop can run a river? Why can not educated people give good examples to start doing good deeds ?

Once again, I am grateful to you and iEARN for giving me the floor to express myself and share with you my experience.

Stay well and keep on good deeds.

Good Deeds in Kenya

2009-02-27T14:46:00.003+02:00

On February 5th a total of 39 diploma student went to a slum in Bombolulu for deworming exercise. The diploma students undergo an introductory session in research. This is in preparation to the 40 hrs extended essay which is they do for their diploma. This year the students were doing a CAS exercise of deworming children in Bombolulu, Mombasa. As part of the preparation for the research the students were taken through an introductory workshop on research skills. They then had a weekly meeting where we undertook different parts of the research. The students in groups decided to do an impact study on the deworming exercise.

In the deworming exercise there two major things done they include education and deworming. We have an education session where the children are taught about worms and how to avoid them. There is also the Deworming exercise where the children are given medicine under the watchful eye of a medic.

The impact study covered areas of awareness, repeat visits, outreach and current practice at home. In awareness it the student looked at the sources and level of information about worms by the residents of the village. Repeat visits looked at how many people come back for the deworming exercise (this was the 6th event). The outreach looked at the people coming for the deworming what was there integration in relation to gender, age, occupational and place of stay. The current practice theme looked at how they handle themselves hygienically with respect to keeping worms at bay.

The research teams worked in group and really enjoyed the data collection exercise. I remember meeting Geoffrey and he shared “sir with this data one can write a whole extended essay”. I meet with an exhausted Yasin who shared “Sir, I did not think that research is tough, but I really enjoyed it”. That was in reference to the data collection session.
The data collection sessions was actively done by all the members. Subsequently we shall be working on the organization, analysis and discussion. Finally we shall come up with a report on the impact study. This is an approach of the core team working in collaboration that is CAS and EE.

Good deeds are things we can do every day. confused? For instance sometimes I help my mom. I also help my friends with school work. You can do all sorts of things to help people. You can help the environment, too. You can plant trees or pick up trash.

Tell me your good deeds. i would love to know what you have done to help.:)

He doesn‘t say ”dear Mummy”

2008-12-13T19:55:00.004+02:00

I was invited to read this new blog initiated by a mother of a disabled child. She is wonderfully uses her new blog to describe her feelings and actions while dealing with her dear son. It also gives us all an opportunity to contemplate and think for a minute about others around us. There are many things in life that we can't realize, and there are others we can't describe.. It is a virtue and a gift to have senses to see, feel, hear, and think of everything around you..

I leave you now to read this blog entry. You can find it in other languages in the main blog website: http://onlararamizda.wordpress.com

He doesn‘t say ”dear Mummy”

Today is Mothers Day
I am a mother, too.
But my son doesn‘t congratulate me
Doesn‘t hug and kiss me
Doesn‘t collect flowers and let me smell
He doesn‘t say ”dear Mummy”

Yet, I have worked so hard for him
Cleaned him for years
Didn‘t eat when he couldn‘t eat
Didn‘t sleep when he couldn‘t sleep
Stayed with him when he was ill
He doesn‘t say "dear Mummy".

My child can‘t speak
Can‘t play like his peers
Can‘t eat alone.
Can‘t get up when he falls down
My child is disabled
He can‘t say ”dear Mummy“.

* I wrote this poem in 2005. My son can say ”Mummy“ and hug me now.

Good Deeds Goes Green in Bahrain!

2008-11-23T19:15:00.005+02:00

On the morning of Thursday 20th of November, me and my team of iEARN started our first event & our first project ever..a day before my students presented the "PAY IT FORWARD" project to the students at the school & distributed their brochures..

Next day & since we have chosen green to define ourselves and our mission, the whole school was wearing green ; teachers, students and even the school's principle just to show their support to the Good Deeds project ..

Around 9 AM students from the future elementary school at age of 6, marched into the school and were welcomed by iEARN girls. they went to the school yard where a special place was set for them .. the purpose of the project was delivered to them by the art teachers at Al Hoora School and right away they started to make beautiful paintings that served the case.. as a reward kids had a great chocolate experience with the girls selling chocolate Fondue- mini cakes dipped into hot melted chocolate- raising money for donation..

Other students started to come and gather around and started to write on the flip board -that we've called good deeds sheet-a brief explanation of their actions and how they affected themselves and the people they've helped.. the purpose was to enforce the idea that good deeds cause a chain reaction just like the movie "PAY IT FORWARD" & that The good deed does not have to be big and expensive for someone to appreciate it. Just making someone elses day makes the giver feel good too. hopefully we were able to instill in our students a sense of good deeds & community service with those little acts..

Kids and the students had fun that day and that was really my icing on my cake.. I would like to acknowledge all the students who participated in making this event a success.. thank you all :))

Blood Donation at the HCTMC in Dubai

2008-11-17T07:46:00.003+02:00

I came across this community service event while attneding a conference at the MC in Dubai. It was very nice seeing several students and staff sitting their waiting for their turns to donate their blood. Personally speaking, I consider human translantiation and blood donations of the most noble and humane ways of helping others where you don't only give the 'extra' money or some support, but also you 'sacrifice' a part of your very precious health for the safety and sake of someone else. These people deserve all types of respect and appreciation by people and the community.

Wish love and appreciation..

Good Deeds T-shirts, SMS messages, and more from Bahrain

2008-11-05T05:47:00.003+02:00

My students at Al Hoora girls Secondary School have shown some excellent job since we've decided to adopt Good Deeds as our school theme. My team will have their own T-shirts with iEARN Good Deeds’ slogan printed on it.. We've been texting students on their mobiles quotes related to the project..

A presentation will be held next week of how one can change the world with simple good deeds.. Moreover one of my students has prepared a brochure to introduce other students to the project, which led to have more new girls coming over and asking me whether its not too late to join the team, and of course I said “hey its never late to join Good Deeds..”

Good Deeds Active Students in Bahrain!

2008-11-04T06:59:00.004+02:00

For the second year, the students in Bahrain proved to be very active and lovers of 'Good Deeds'! In fact, I was amazed with the level of motivation and the spirit they have shown in this new work. More reports to come from Baharini students soon. This newsletter will also be published in our website shortly.

Today's Run!

2008-10-25T13:26:00.003+02:00

Today's run was an exciting experience for many people who dedicate their time and efforts to help others. This way, the help was done by raising people's awareness about the risks of women's breast cancer disease. Raising fund and donating money for this yearly initiative is also an important aspect in this competitive race with more than 1500 participants this year in three 1K, 5K, and 10K competitions!! Well done!

Although being the 6th or 7th didn't qualify me for an award, I'm sending few pictures from the race :-(

more images: 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13

A quote about this event;

We would like to begin our campaign this year by acknowledging the people who contributed extra effort by participating in some of the events like the “Pink Day Photo Contest” and “TawamTeam Spirit Contest” from last year. They added that little something that makes every event memorable and added to the success of the 1st Annual Run/Walk, we appreciate it. With your help and participation this year’s event will be bigger and better! So please join us and show your spirit, wear pink, eat pink cake, register for the race, form a team with your friends and colleagues, challenge them and most of all have fun!!

Have fun!

57357 Cancer Hospital Invitation

2008-09-14T07:09:00.004+02:00

Happy new academic year and Ramadan to all our members and readers, I would like to share a message of invitation in both English and Arabic which I have received from http://www.57357.com cancer hospital in Egypt this week. Hope you could help..

------------------------------------------------
We will always be grateful for your wonderful support and encouragement and it is in your company that we we wish to celebrate the start of this holy season. As such, we invite you to visit the premises to share with us the pride and blessings of having contributed

to this noble endeavor. Hospital 57357 was built by you and a multitude of other friends in Egypt and around the world for you and for them, that is why, from the simple perspective of your ownership of this project, it is only natural that you would be concerned for its on-going success and the accomplishment of its vision, mission and goals.

If you happen to live abroad, maybe one way of actively interacting with us is to talk about the project to five of your closest friends and relatives who would be also interested in supporting us. You might prefer to send us directly their E-mails and phone or mobile numbers so that we establish a contact with them. You must have realized by now that we are badly in need of continuous support and increasing the number of donors if we want to secure an excellent comprehensive care and treatment , free of charge , for a growing number of children with cancer. We have estimated the yearly cost of running operations at the CCHE 57357 to be L.E.150 million. This amount is liable to increase steadily as we expect a steady increase in the number of sick children with cancer from all across Egypt and from the Arab countries.

Since the start of operations in July 7, 2007 at the hospital, and in the course of over one year we have received and treated over 25% of children with cancer in Egypt, totally free of charge. A good number of them have completed their treatment at the hospital and have resumed their normal lives. With the expected running of the hospital at full capacity and the opening of all remaining departments this year, it is estimated that the number of cases received and treated will rise to 50% of the expected total number of children with cancer in Egypt which is estimated at 8500 per year. Also, within our clear mission of serving as a magnet of care and exchanging knowledge with other healthcare institutions within both our immediate external Arab community and internationally, the hospital has received 70 cancer cases from our sister Arab countries namely Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The administration was keen since the project's inception to always adopt international quality standards in all aspects, such as design, sanitation, infection control, training, organization, treatment protocols. It also firmly believes that all sick children regardless of their background are equal in receiving the best comprehensive quality care offered free of charge by the hospital. Our ultimate objective is to increase cure rates from the present 40-45% in Egypt to 80-85% as in the developed world. This is no more a dream but a hope in a brighter future for our sick children with cancer and their families which they deserve and for which we will always work hand in hand to make a reality.

Best regards,

Friendship with Disabled Students

2008-05-30T14:57:00.001+03:00

More information about our elementary students friendship with disabled students from the specialized school # 86.

On May 20, 2008 40 elementary school students went to the trip around the most famous place in Ferghana region, Kokand town, a place of ruling the last Ferghana Region King (XV111-X1X centuries). Before the trip our students together with the disabled students made a research on history of the most famous places in Ferghana Region – the birth place of local ceramics – Rishtan, and traditional silk fabric “ATHLAS” – Margilan, the palace of the last Ferghana Regional King Khudoyar-Khan, etc. Students parents helped to find and organize information for presentations. The best presentation was about Kokand town, that’s why we decided to start our historical trips with Kokand. We visited Khudoyar-Khan Palace, Local Art Museum and have learned a lot about traditions and culture of our motherland. Especially important was that our friends from the specialized school # 86 were with us. Because themselves they couldn’t visit such interesting historical places

Working in 5 groups, students developed their own plan of helping and supporting old people of their makhallya. And during the April 22-26 week they made a list of lonely old people who need help and support. Students-volunteers visited old people at homes, cleaned their yards, rooms, helped with shopping in the market, cooked food. It was a real help to real people.

Learn about Disabilities

2008-04-22T16:27:00.001+02:00

Working with the Special Olympics is a great way to get involved with the community. Not only do you gain a sense of accomplishment, but you get to learn about various physical and mental disabilities. As teachers, it is important to learn about various disabilities because they will be in the general classroom.

Since gas prices are going up and people are finding drugs in the water system many Americans are trying to find a way to help the earth without changing to much. There are list of things on the internate and the news such as: going the speed limit while driving, not flushing every time people go #1 in the bathroom, be careful about how people dispose of waste, and of course recycling. The U.S. seems to make this a mission, but i know other people around the world are too. so i was wondering what people from different countries are doing? anything different?

Re: Teaching Good Deeds

2008-04-01T08:05:00.001+02:00

I think teaching good deeds to young children is a great idea. I myself want to teach my students when I have a classroom of my own about good deeds and things we can do to change the world or even our community. I think teaching kids while they are young about good deeds is a great idea and then they can use the skills they learened as they get older and maybe make a big difference for their community or the world one day! :sillygrin:

Good Deeds in Indonesia

"One of IEARN’s projects “GOOD DEEDS" attracts my interest. There are so many little things we can do and they can be regarded as good deeds. I can inform my students about this. “GOOD DEEDS" are around us, even at school. Keeping everything clean, throwing rubbish or even used candies plastics into dustbin are among good deeds, so simple! “GOOD DEEDS" is in harmony with my school effort to create a nice, friendly and clean environment."
