This lady (72 years old) feels a bit lonely. She likes people with a positive outlook.

Both she and her husband are experiencing some health issues, but she prefers not to talk about them. She'd much rather just have a nice cup of tea or coffee with someone, a chat, go to town, or take a walk. That would provide some distraction and cheer her up; that's what she wants.


Both of her children and grandchildren do not live nearby and she no longer has any friends with whom she can have regular contact.


She speaks Dutch well enough for conversation. She enjoys listening to music, sitting on a terrace, and taking walks. She completed secretarial training in Morocco.


She would like a (not too young) woman as a friend, preferably once a week on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon.


What do we expect from you?

- you are open-minded and do not judge quickly

- you can listen well

- you can take initiative and, above all, allow others to take initiative

- you inspire, encourage, but do not direct.


What do we have to offer you?

- pairing with a participant you click with

- expert guidance and support

- an enthusiastic team of volunteers

- mutual exchange of experiences

- internal training, team meetings and get-togethers.


What makes the work worth doing?

As a buddy, you make a real difference for others. Together, you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and that bring you both pleasure and satisfaction. Connecting with the participant also enriches your own life.

Getting there

About Humanitas Ontmoet

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.
