Summary
We are looking for a buddy who can listen to a woman in her early 80s.Detailed description
The lady came to live in Wageningen 8 years ago. Then came corona. As a result, she has built up few contacts in Wageningen. The lady walks with a walker. She is looking for someone who will visit her once every 4 weeks and with whom she can have a nice conversation. She may want to increase the frequency afterwards, possibly undertake activities with the volunteer, but she wants to start slowly.
Who likes to visit her weekly?
She herself thinks that a female size would suit her well. Age doesn't matter that much.
Job requirements:
- You prefer to listen rather than talk.
- You are open-minded and not quick to judge.
- You have a searching attitude.
- You can take initiative, but above all give the other person the space to take it.
- You inspire, encourage but do not direct.
What do we have to offer the volunteer?
- an enthusiastic team of volunteers
- expert guidance and support
- internal training, consultation and meetings
- we learn a lot by exchanging experiences with fellow volunteers
- Third party liability and accident insurance
- travel allowance
What makes the work worthwhile?
Our volunteers say:
- "It was great to be on the road together; we didn't know where we would end up, but we made progress step by step."
- "I was involved and at the same time a neutral participant in what a participant is going through."
- “It gave me satisfaction, without any ulterior motive.”
- "My buddy managed to bring out in me what I didn't know I had in me."
