Woman with light verst. limitation wishes buddy

We are looking for a buddy for a sixty-four year old woman from Amstelveen. The woman has a mild intellectual disability. She can go anywhere herself, but she finds it much more fun to do an activity with someone. The woman has been linked to a buddy before. She has very positive memories of that. She wants to have fun and laugh with a buddy. But she also needs to be able to tell her buddy what is bothering her. And sometimes she is so enthusiastic about something that she likes to keep that topic in the air. She likes to go to a garden center, shopping center or terrace with her buddy. She wishes for a buddy who will be a little patient with her. Someone who accepts that she smokes and who is not surprised that she is easy to care for. Are you interested in becoming her buddy? Read below how that works. As a volunteer with the Roads Buddy project, we pair you with a regular participant: your buddy. We connect the participant and the volunteer based on, among other things, common interests. The function of this buddy contact is to break through or prevent social isolation for a participant with a psychological vulnerability by going out together. As a volunteer you provide distraction and a bit of fun. It is important that you are prepared to meet with your buddy once every fortnight for one year (longer is possible). Furthermore, you are prepared to enter into the encounter 'openly', without wanting to change the other person. That sometimes requires adaptability. Working hours: During the day or in the evening, during the week or at the weekend: all possible. If you become each other's buddy, you will meet once every two weeks for a period of one year. When and where you meet each other, you always decide in mutual consultation with your buddy. Intake procedure: Contact person Roads Maatjesproject: Jorise (Mon, Wed, Thu). Please feel free to contact us for an introductory meeting. If you definitively register as a volunteer, an interview will follow with a participant. After this conversation, you can indicate the next day whether you want to become a buddy couple. Yes = start contact. No = new conversation with another buddy.
