This is a very timely and necessary gift to recognize volunteers for seniors buy food and medicine. When working for the telephone conversations with the applicants takes a very long time.
– a Clear shopping list, pre-planned and dictated by fast – a rarity, says volunteer Elena. Usually older people like to talk not only about what to buy, but at the same time to tell about relatives, to complain about health… In my experience, a record forty minutes. However, it was very early in my volunteering, now I can’t accept this. An average conversation with one applicant out fifteen minutes, first form a list, then call from the store stating the position. Four applications is for an hour of conversation a day. Within its rate I was raised minutes to maximum but still not enough. Frustrating considering that many of us are now without work.
– And some grandmothers love, dictating the list to explain what and for what they charge. And even how to prepare, – continues Natalia. It’s all very nice, but the rate is not rubber.
the First batch of SIM cards are already distributed. It is assumed that the mobile operator will continue to rally support of volunteers.
Andrey Kolesnik – realtor, family-oriented, father of two lovely girls, and a volunteer project #Myvote in the North-East of St. Petersburg. To his credit – 51 completed application.
When I heard that there is an opportunity to help elderly people in isolation, we immediately responded. I do understand that we are talking about the most vulnerable part of society. Wife and children have supported me, – says Andrey. – Delivering food and medicine, I meet an exceptionally good, kind people. In everyday life, usually young people, and now began to better understand the older generation. Still, after I literally stood up in their place – takes a turn to the pharmacy to get medicine, carry bags, sometimes around two or three stores, trying to save a pensioner’s money.
grandparents are very different, but all United by sincerity and openness. They really appreciate us for the help. And I am grateful to them. Because current retirees have built the world in which we live. I think that now it is our time to support these wonderful people.
Older people are very touching. One day when I came with food to her grandmother, she met me freshly baked rolls, right out of the oven. Specially to my parish tried. I had to politely refuse, as required by the rules of the project, and to promise that the race at the seagulls, when will all end.
Another case. I took the order to the delivery of products. To clarify the details, dialed the telephone number and was surprised: he already ��yl in my address book. It turned out that the application was left, a former teacher of my daughter. Not for myself. She took care of her neighbor in the communal apartment, which has no phone and ordered her food. So we talked to a good friend, remembered a pleasant and at the same time somebody could help.
Now all we need to pay attention to older people, their neighbors. Many of them are afraid, do not go out and feel the loneliness and longing. But not everyone has children and grandchildren who will come to help. We can support them by buying food and medicine, and just a kind word. It is easy to do, everyone can find at least an hour a day for a good cause.
And you know, I noticed that when I became involved in the campaign #Myvote in my real estate business went better, and I myself am in a great mood. I think that the universe is good, responds well. Because everything is interconnected. I do not wait and go ahead, help!
