This retirement home has one important ambition: providing a good old day to all the seniors living in its establishment. Volunteers are invited to keep the elderly company, to organize entertainment and to assist the staff with their daily duties.
The elders that live here have been abandoned by their families and don’t have economic resources. They are not included in the system and the Home is a refuge for them. The staff works hard at providing the elders with all the facilities and services for them to live there. The centre does not receive any help from other institutions or professionals; that is why, volunteers are always welcome.
The organization works actively to improve the quality of volunteer activities within the institution encouraging daily contact with the elderly. Volunteers must choose from the list of proposed activities that they wish to do with the elders and may suggest or implement new ones, as long as the situation allows it.
Some of the activities that the center proposes are making homemade bread and desserts and creating all kinds of crafts like greetings cards, collages and dough modelation. They’ll also like it if you can provide physical activities like relaxation, coordination and elongation exercises or any outdoor activity such as cleaning the yard and working on the vegetables garden. You can also spend a nive time with the elederly by reading books to them or playing board games or simply telling them about your life at your home country and you life story. This can make them feel comfortable enough to tell you about their lives.
