About the volunteering opportunity
For Mrs. St., an 80-year-old resident of our residential community "Am Sportforum", we are looking for a volunteer to provide a visiting service in her room. Mrs. St. would like entertainment and company, especially in the mornings between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.. She enjoys light games such as picture puzzles or card games with pictures and likes to share stories from her past life, especially from her time at the post office. Talking about her work at the post office and the challenges that came with it is particularly interesting for Ms. St.
Your involvement can make a great contribution to Mrs. St.'s well-being and quality of life by providing her with regular entertainment and companionship.
We thank you in advance for your valuable support!
