Summary

A pleasant woman of around 60 years old is looking for a companion with whom she can undertake fun activities. Are you going out together?

Detailed description

Do what you both like to do together with your buddy. Nice if you are interested in fine mechanical technology, if you also enjoy cooking ..., but you don't have to.

Job description:

I am a man, in my early 60's with broad and also specific interests. Did a lot of modeling (boats, planes, cars, trains). I enjoy going to exhibitions. Build high-precision instruments yourself and love crosses with a radio-controlled car. Also make music on a horn, for example. I would prefer a buddy who also likes to cook occasionally, that is just not my hobby. Going shopping together again.

Job requirements:

- you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge - you can listen carefully - you can take initiative and especially let the other take the initiative - you inspire, encourage, but do not direct

What do you have to offer the volunteer ?:

- linking to a participant with whom it clicks - expert guidance and support - an enthusiastic volunteer team - mutual exchange of experiences - internal training, team consultation and meeting meetings

What makes the work worthwhile ?:

Together you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and from which you both get pleasure and satisfaction. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.

Working time:

in consultation
