 .     What did you learn from the Future Center trip that you didn’t know before?

·        I learnt that the Future Center is a non- profit organization which specializes in the education and rehabilitation of individuals with special needs. And that it is committed to provide these people with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable them to realize their full potential in a safe, caring environment.

2.     What did you get out of the visit personally?

Actually I was appalled by what I saw. I didn’t realize that I am so fortunate with all the blessings I have before I met them. One should thank Al-Mighty Allah for all His gifts and start thinking seriously how to help the less fortunate ones!

3.     Why is it valuable for students studying cultural diversity to visit the Future Center?

A visit to such centers is really valuable for students studying cultural diversity as it enables them to witness practical cultural diversity in reality as a living fact. It is a life concept of dissimilarity and variety of the creation of Al-Mighty Allah for some sort of wisdom that we can’t comprehend.

4.     What are you gaining from this course?

Honestly, this course has opened my eyes to the fact that all people, coming from different walks of life, descending from various origins and roots, having a wide range of thoughts, beliefs, religions, morals, ethnics and ethics are all human beings that should be respected as they all contribute to humanity.

5.     What is the value of diversity?

The value of diversity lies in learning and comprehending how variations in culture and background would affect our life in general.In all aspects, it would help us avoid a narrow focus upon cultural differences alone. It helps us learn the skills to negotiate effective communication, enhances awareness of one’s own attitudes and sensitivity to issues of stereotyping, prejudice and racism.

6.     How did you see that value demonstrated at the Future Center?

I saw that value demonstrated at the Future Center by touching the lives of many students and their families as some of those students have already joined regular and mainstream education. It has prevailed teachers, parents and volunteers who work together in an environment that is supportive and caring.
