Be a Helping Hand<br />
Merge 104.8’s format merges both Omani and expatriate<br />
presenters, which results in this unique mix of cultural<br />
subjects with an interactive formula. Here is what to expect<br />
in the week from Merge 104.8’s exceptional presenters:<br />
The Breakfast Show with Chris Fisher, Saturday to<br />
Wednesday from 6am until 10am. This show is entertaining,<br />
informative, and light, and of course so much fun - I mean it<br />
has to be! It’s the one and only CHRIS FISHER... and cake!<br />
The Lunch Break Show with Rumaitha Al Busaidi,<br />
every week day from 1pm until 4pm. Rumaitha’s free spirit<br />
guarantees you a stress-free lunch break with a selection of<br />
the best music. She is energetic, optimistic and this reflects<br />
clearly in the show.<br />
The Muscat Drive with Sayeh Stone, every week day from<br />
4pm until 8pm. With Sayeh’s charisma and magical voice<br />
you will definitely experience an enjoyable time. You will<br />
also be able to get to know what is happening in Muscat<br />
with Merge Guide, with live phone-ins and much, much<br />
more.<br />
The Creative Center for Rehabilitation has announced two<br />
workshops in special education, which we think is absolutely<br />
fantastic and much needed in the Sultanate. Both workshops will<br />
start on <strong>June</strong> 25th for 200 hours, and will be presented in English.<br />
Only 25 participants will be taken for each group, so be quick to<br />
contact them.<br />
Workshop One: The Teachers Aide Workshop will interest anyone<br />
who would like to be a teacher’s aide in a special education<br />
classroom. The instructor for this workshop is Minerva Manuel<br />
(M.ED Special Education).<br />
Workshop 2: Introduction to Special Education will interest parents<br />
and teachers who want to learn about special education. Professor<br />
Nelma Viana (Professor of Special Education) will present the<br />
workshop.<br />
Omani Talent, every Friday with Sami Al Asmi. Sami will<br />
be hosting different Omani Talents from 7pm to 9pm, and<br />
the idea is to get to know about local talents. Sami’s charm<br />
will no doubt introduce exciting people every week, so tune<br />
in as you might just know that person on air!<br />

Dr. Kawthar Al-Balushi, the founder of the Center tells us that these<br />
workshops are designed to benefit anyone that is interested in<br />
learning about children with disabilities.<br />
She said, "In the first workshop, we will introduce special education<br />
to the <strong>com</strong>munity, and what it is and what are the theories we work<br />
with children within a special education setting. We will discuss all<br />
kinds of disabilities, such as autism, Down’s syndrome, different<br />
types of mental retardation, learning difficulties, the importance<br />
of early intervention as well as IEPs and how they are used. This<br />
workshop will be very beneficial to parent that have handicapped<br />
children. The instructor is a Professor of Special Education, with<br />
over 21 years experience working in the special education field.<br />
We are also giving another workshop for Omanis and expats for<br />
teacher’s aide. In this workshop they will learn how to work with<br />
children that have different kinds of disabilities and how they can<br />
help them within the classroom setting. We are hoping to take two<br />
of the best from this group and place them as teachers' aides in<br />
our classes."<br />
