If: you are over 20 years old, live in the area of the municipalities of Stari Grad, Centar, Novo Sarajevo, Novi Grad and Ilidža and are ready for 8-16 hours of volunteer work per month in your neighborhood, apply and become a ” good neighbor” “.
Together we shape the environment in which not a single elderly person is forgotten, abandoned or written off!
Why?
In our society, there are more and more elderly people who have almost no one of their own, so it often happens that they end up lonely and abandoned at the end of their earthly life. Therefore, with the project we want to contribute to the well-being of the elderly by building and improving a network of benevolent and empathetic relations between voluntary neighbors and elderly people in need.
How?
- Project coordinators, in cooperation with municipal services, local communities and partner organizations, will select elderly people who are lonely, have limited mobility and are willing to accept a volunteer.
- Based on the application, interested volunteers will be invited to discuss motivation and practical issues.
- This is followed by the pairing of couples and the first visit to the user’s home address together with the project coordinator.
- Volunteers start regular home visits once a week according to the plan agreed upon at the meeting with the beneficiary.
- Volunteer meetings are held once a month with the aim of exchanging experiences.
What are you going to do?
The needs of the elderly are individual. In agreement with them, you decide together how you will spend your time together:
- Talk, drink coffee/coffee, take a walk, play games, or just be present.
- Help them get food, medicine, or connect them to a doctor.
- Help the elderly person reach the institutions and “exorcise the papers”.
- Share your skills and knowledge, helping them navigate the digital world or teaching them new skills.
