About the volunteering opportunity
Our neighbor Regina is looking for someone to accompany her on walks or to nearby events from time to time. Appointments are arranged individually. Due to her late-onset blindness, she is still unfamiliar with unknown paths and would be happy to have a nice companion.
Your Tasks
The task is to support Regina in her leisure activities. She needs someone to accompany her on walks around the neighborhood. And sometimes someone to accompany her to an event. For example, to the community center. Because she is unsure about walking on unfamiliar paths. She also wants to meet new, nice people.
What's needed
The volunteer should be empathetic and thoughtful.
Regina would also like a very trustworthy person to support her.
It would be nice if the volunteer is open-minded and interested in mutual exchange.
Time required
regularly
Important notice
Regina is dependent on very trustworthy people due to her blindness. She would like to be treated with sensitivity.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.
