Humanitas is there for people who like to go outside now and then, but can't do that themselves without a buddy (anymore). By doing activities with a buddy, they can (again) keep in touch with society.

Woman (79 years old) would like more contact. She enjoys crafts (e.g. making cards) and growing orchids.
This lady is looking for someone who would like to visit her once a week on a morning for a cup of coffee and a chat. It would be nice to DO something together every now and then, for example making postcards or going somewhere by car. The latter is also nice for practical matters.
Her health leaves something to be desired, because she always has pain in her leg and her back, and she does not hear well in company. But she still does as much as possible herself, she walks to the supermarket with her walker every day and exercises at the health center once a week.
She needs more social contact. Interested in getting to know her?
What do we ask of you?
- you are open-minded, you are not quick to judge
- you are a good listener
- you can take initiative and, above all, let the other person take initiative
- you enthuse, encourage, but do not direct.
What do we have to offer you?
- link to a participant with whom you click
- expert guidance and support
- an enthusiastic volunteer team
- mutual exchange of experiences
- internal training, team consultations and meetings.
What makes the work worth it?
As a buddy you really make a difference for a fellow human being. Together you do fun, positive things that the participant needs and that you both get pleasure from and satisfaction from. Contact with the participant also enriches your own life.
