Do you also love being outside and feeding the ducks?

Weekly · 1 to 2 hours

Mantelzorg & Meer

Do you love being outside / feeding animals / ducks or do you enjoy going to the goat farm? And do you also like reading, giving rest, listening to children's music, doing puzzles, playing games? Perhaps you would enjoy guiding this 17-year-old young man. He has ASD and epilepsy that is difficult to control. He functions at the level of a 4-year-old child. He is very sweet and loves ducks! He is very sensitive to sounds. He goes to school. The parents are looking for you to spend time with their son once a week. Given the situation, you must have an affinity with mental/physical disabilities. You are patient, understanding, consistent, have a sense of humor and love ducks! It takes time for their son to get used to you and vice versa, so it is nice if you basically enter into a long-term connection. The demand is for approximately 2 hours per week / day and time in consultation. If this sounds like something to you, please contact us

Music to share!

Weekly · 1 to 2 hours

Mantelzorg & Meer

If you have a passion for music, then this request for help is for you. For a gentleman in Amstelveen (51 years old) with Non-Congenital Brain Injury (NAH), ADHD and PTSD, we are looking for a volunteer with whom he can share his passion for music and sound technology. Mister used to be a sound engineer. He still plays various instruments such as organ, drums, synthesizer and (bass) guitar and would like to make music and talk about music with someone. At the same time, this gives his wife the space to go out for a while, so that your arrival also means a lot to her. As a result of his NAH, Mr. has good days and bad days. On a bad day, making music may not work. Then it's nice if you sit down and talk to him. The NAH also influences his emotions and reactions, he can sometimes react in a somewhat oversimplified way, without this being personal. Do you have a firm footing, are you patient, don't shy away from the occasional strong language, are you enterprising and enthusiastic? Please contact Marije, volunteer coordinator. She will be happy to tell you more about this request for help.

You are more than welcome!
