Who wants to meet this guy once every two weeks and do something fun and fun together? The boy can manage well in his electric wheelchair, both indoors and outdoors. Transport options are available in consultation for longer distances. But also doing within a game is nice. It's about fun, variety and fun. He prefers a buddy who is not much older than him, at least under 35 years old.Job requirements:

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.
