Your Tasks
We are looking for someone who would like to help an elderly man living in Neukölln with mild hearing and vision impairments with correspondence from government agencies. He receives regular mail, for example from the social services office, which he needs to read and, if necessary, process or respond to. Since writing—both by hand and digitally—is particularly difficult for him due to his visual impairment, he would appreciate assistance with this.
H. seems very youthful, open, friendly, and communicative. Regular meetings—about once a week, by mutual arrangement—would be ideal.
