ABOUT THE VOLUNTEERING ACTIVITY
You want to do something good for the elderly? Every Tuesday, we are taking out a group of seniors for a little walk in their wheel-chairs. Starting point is Cordaan Ottho Welderingstraat, an elderly-home located in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
The elderly really enjoy having a little chat, getting some fresh air and discovering the area together with a small group of volunteers. To finish up, we always have a cup of tea and some cookies all together. In case of rain, we do a fun craft activity instead of a walk. Either way, a few hours full of smiles and fun are always guaranteed – for elderly and volunteers.
As most elderly do not speak English, it would be great if you speak some Dutch. Otherwise, talking with hands and feet works well, too.
