Do you have time, attention and a positive outlook?

Charita, 34, misses social contacts outside the family. She finds it difficult to recognize emotions and to estimate the feelings of others. As a result of bad experiences, she often assumes the negative aspect. She would like to have positive experiences. A woman who is socially skilled and takes the initiative to do fun activities together would make her very happy. She likes Bollywood dancing and clothing. She loves shopping, but she also thinks it would be fun to go to the cinema or a terrace together. In bad weather, making photo collages or diamond painting together is a good alternative.

Stichting Bibliotheek Westland
Are you interested in the Dutch language and would you like to support 'new' Westlanders in better mastering the Dutch language? Taalhuis Westland is committed to making this possible and cannot do this without the efforts of volunteers. As a volunteer you have individual contact with a language buddy. Dutch is spoken, listened to or written and read together. Everyday subjects are central, but it may also be the case that you put more emphasis on practicing a certain skill. For example, to help someone have a conversation at school or write a letter for work. The target • Increasing knowledge of the Dutch language • Support with participation in Westland • Enabling opportunities to participate in Dutch society What do we expect from you? • You are enthusiastic about practicing the Dutch language with others. • You are prepared to follow a basic course for language volunteers of 3 half-days. Availability For the period of 12 months you will be linked to a language buddy and you will work together for about 1 hour a week. After 12 months, this program will be terminated and you can be linked to a new language buddy. The location where you meet is in Westland, for example in a branch of the Library. What do we offer you? As a Language Volunteer you become a volunteer at Taalhuis Westland, part of the Westland Library. Westland Library greatly appreciates volunteers. We think it is important that you have sufficient expertise to do your volunteer work well. That is why we provide: • Regular meetings to meet other volunteers • We offer expertise promotion and you receive professional guidance • You will receive a short training of 3 half-days about low literacy for free • You will receive a free library membership during your time as a language volunteer • You receive an annual gift You do voluntary work at a professional organization. We therefore record our agreements in a volunteer agreement and request a VOG. The organisation Westland Library believes that people who develop themselves are happier and healthier and can thus participate permanently and fully in society. The Westland Library contributes to this by supporting, stimulating and facilitating the personal and talent development of all Westlanders by connecting them with stories, knowledge, organizations and by meeting each other.

Platform Gehandicapten Westland
The Platform for the Disabled Westland (PGW) is looking for volunteers for our school project: Handicap? Different but very ordinary! We do this project during the school year, with (almost) all groups 8 at primary schools in Westland. Students show and experience that there are many disabilities. We do this through a 'game' with questions and assignments. We bring many tools with us for the assignments. This way, students can experience what it is like to have a physical disability, but also that aids can help them participate independently in society. We expect mobile volunteers to help prepare the project. Then help the students complete the assignments and answer the questions. Collecting and cleaning up the (auxiliary) resources is of course also part of this. After the coffee/tea break, the project continues with a circle discussion. How did the students experience the project? Are there any questions for the volunteers or about the assignments and questions? We expect volunteers who have a physical disability to help the students with the questions and assignments. During the group discussion you briefly talk about your physical disability and how and when you acquired 'your disability'. Then the students can ask questions. Are you the active volunteer (with or without) physical disability that we are looking for? Do you enjoy 'working' in a small team? Knowing more? Please contact us at [email address hidden] or visit [website hidden] for more information about the PGW.
