Humanitas is there for people who like to go outside now and then, but can't do that themselves without a buddy (anymore). By doing activities with a buddy, they can (again) keep in touch with society.

Detailed description
Looking for a friendly and practical companion for a colorful and intelligent 95-year-old woman.
This positive and talkative lady is looking for a companion for fun and sometimes some light practical support. A visit or a trip together once every two weeks is sufficient. Enjoy a nice trip to the Oude Tol together or go shopping in Bennekom or drink coffee somewhere. Calling occasionally is also nice. The lady is looking for someone who is practical and takes initiative - for example making tea or seeing that a practical job needs to be done - and who helps her maintain some focus in a conversation.
The lady moves indoors with a walker and outdoors in a wheelchair.
She is bright and broadly interested. She used to paint and weave and loves plants/gardening and listening to music.
What do we ask of you?
- you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge
- you are a good listener
- you can take initiative and, above all, let the other person take initiative
- you enthuse, encourage, but do not direct.
What do we have to offer you?
- link to a participant with whom you click
- expert guidance and support
- an enthusiastic volunteer team
- mutual exchange of experiences
- internal training, team consultations and meetings.
What makes the work worth it?
As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and that you both get pleasure from and satisfaction from. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.
