Description
🌟 Volunteer at Siloe in Ostrava! Join Siloe, a center supporting elderly people with memory disorders.

You’ll help with listening, reading, solving puzzles, and engaging in meaningful conversations. Many clients may experience disorientation or have mobility, vision, or hearing challenges, so building trusting relationships is key. 🌈 Make a real difference, share smiles, and gain unique experiences while supporting people in their daily lives. 👉 Learn more: www.intervia.cz
