This often involves applications for unemployment benefit, problems with health insurance, debt counseling, or support in dealing with psychological difficulties and everyday problems. Ideally, they help their clients find their way out of homelessness over a period of several months. Given the tense housing situation in Berlin, this does not always work, but their support is nevertheless an important anchor for the clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">(Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-obdachlosenhilfe.de\/sozialarbeit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Affected people can contact Maya and Stefan via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-obdachlosenhilfe.de\/sozialarbeit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email or phone<\/a> or come to one of the open office hours (every Tuesday &amp; Thursday 10am-4pm at Exerzierstra\u00dfe 23, 13357 Berlin).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Erfahrungsbericht-BOH\"><strong>Our field report: On the road with the Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enough about the facts.

Once divided into groups, we immediately got into conversation with the other helpers and the time of preparation flew by.

Here we had to set up the tables and benches, place food and drinks at various stations and, of course, distribute the tasks to the volunteers. This was done by the volunteers, who have been with the Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe for a long time and therefore know exactly what needs to be done. At Leopoldplatz, we were supported by other volunteers who offered a helping hand. We distributed food, hot tea and coffee, as well as pastries and desserts to about 50-60 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Distribution at Leopoldplatz\" class=\"wp-image-9633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Impression of the food distribution at Leopoldplatz: Since the guests usually want to remain anonymous, we could not take detailed pictures here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The guests on site were very diverse: from young students to migrants to pensioners, there were people from all kinds of backgrounds and life situations. With some of them there were short conversations, but many also gathered in small groups and in some cases seemed very familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 1.5 hours we packed the food, tables and benches back into the van and the transporter went on to the second station at Kottbusser Tor. Here, in addition to food and drinks, clothing donations were distributed to the people. Again, the helpers were on site for about 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The end and our conclusion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it was time to go back to the organization&#8217;s facilities, where the van was unloaded and dishes and containers were cleaned and tidied up to prepare everything for the next tour. This is an important part aswell. To round off the day, there were drinks and some nice conversations with the rest of the helpers who were still present during the clean-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Berliner Obdachlosenhilfe\" class=\"wp-image-9621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/vostel.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We had a lot of fun and a great feeling to actively support people in need<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though it was a long evening for us, we were happy to be there and to interact with so many lovely helpers.
