Think of hearing history from someone who has lived it! Many of our elderly recipients have lived through and been exposed to many experiences in their lives. Sharing these memories or other enjoyable activities is often the highlight of their day or sometimes even their week. Volunteers can offer a couple of hours a week reading, helping write cards, or playing cards or board games. All volunteers are asked to complete an application process that involves reference checks.

I know of no better feeling than that which comes from helping our elderly neighbors, the disabled, veterans, and people in poor neighborhoods who cannot, unaided, tend to basic yard maintenance—mowing, raking, edging—and, in winter, snow-clearing.

I’m looking for volunteers to join me, and experience the same wonderful feeling I get every day I am out there, helping people do what they can’t quite manage on their own, what isn’t hard for me, and that looks so nice when it is done, which gives a boost to the whole street.

Volunteers can have their own shareable profile URL, custom e-mail alias, and phone number extension. I truly welcome any and all help, which can range from school-kids to professional landscapers, neighbors with a bit of extra time, teens, students—really anyone who can help out and would like to.

I started this enterprise, but volunteers are its backbone. They keep the change-making engines running. One guy, even the one in my mirror, can’t do this alone. To sustain it, and scale it ever upward, volunteers are crucial. Think about becoming one. There is no “minimum” work requirement. You do what you can, where you are able and willing to go. Maybe just lawn work and not snow-clearing. Maybe the other way around. Maybe a little of both. Maybe a very little of both. No matter. Whatever you do will be helping someone who can’t do it. And I know of no better feeling than that.

IL PROGETTO
Il progetto e_vi@ndare vuole riprendere l’esperienza positiva e formativa del
cammino di Santiago avvenuta nel 2018 con la realizzazione di un cammino
Materano che toccherà le seguenti città: BARI, Bitetto, Cassano delle Murge,
Santeramo in Colle, Altamura, Gravina in Puglia. Picciano (Santuario) e MATERA. Il
cammino materano, oltre a offrire la possibilità di conoscere luoghi e aree interne
del meridione, è un modello esemplare di riscatto: la rinascita di quel Sud che ha
iniziato a camminare verso un futuro sostenibile in cui la mobilità lenta assume un
ruolo fondamentale. Camminare fa bene sia al singolo individuo sia alla comunità sia
al territorio, citando Tucidide: “Non il paese fa l’uomo, ma l’uomo fa il paese”.
Anche per noi il cammino diventa uno strumento di riscatto: chiunque può
sperimentarsi in tale avventura, anche chi si pensa non ne abbia le capacità.
A CHI SI RIVOLGE
L’iniziativa coinvolge un gruppo di giovani con disabilità che frequentano il nostro
Centro Socio Educativo. Quest’ultimi partecipano al progetto in due distinte
modalità: un gruppo sarà di camminatori e un altro sarà di “reporter” che
documenterà l’esperienza con lo scopo di realizzarne un docufilm.
OBIETTIVI DEL PROGETTO
1) Essere protagonista: nessuno cammina al tuo posto, solo tu puoi farlo.
2) #Realizzabilinclusioni: mettere in pratica l’inclusione andando oltre i
pregiudizi e gli stereotipi, nell’incontro reciproco sul cammino e nella
realizzazione dell’intero progetto.
