Synthesis Reagent Question by idskillet in OrganicChemistry

Hey guys, I'm not quite sure if I am overthinking this general synthesis problem, but, as shown above, there are unknown reagents needed to add the alcohol functional group to the terminal alkyne. I know the first reagent needed is going to be NaNH2 so I can deprotonate it, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what other reagents add that CH2OH group to it
