About the volunteering opportunity
We are an inclusive neighborhood meeting place and are supporting our neighbor Regina in her search for someone to help her improve her English skills. Regina is blind.
Your Tasks
The volunteers are there to help Regina improve her English skills. Due to her blindness, Regina is particularly concerned with hearing and speaking.
What's needed
Knowledge of German and English :)
In addition, a patient and empathetic approach.
Time required
Regina would like regular support. For example, 1-1.5 hours once a week.
Important notice
Regina would like a careful handling of her blindness. She wants a very trustworthy person to support her, as she is dependent on them due to her blindness. But don't be shy, she is very happy to explain this to the volunteers.Where?
Bürgertreff "Gemeinsam im Kiez leben"
The citizens' meeting place "Gemeinsam im Kiez leben" is an institution of the Cooperative Mensch eG and an inclusive meeting place in Alt-Hohenschönhausen. Since October 2018, the citizens' meeting place has been sponsored by the district of Lichtenberg. As a social meeting place, it is dedicated to the elimination of barriers and the local implementation of the UN Disability Rights Convention. We want to promote inclusion in the neighbourhood. We have various open and inclusive offers in the Bürgertreff and in the Kiez. We have a large network in Lichtenberg and various cooperation partners, such as an inclusive boccia club. We also arrange cultural sponsorships between people with disabilities and/or low income and people interested in culture.
