I am interested in helping the elderly since they have to deal with loneliness, illness and social insolation. Most of them have mobility problems which keep them stuck at home . Aging is inevitable and having or not having children , being married or single are not factors which make us impervious to spend our last years in loneliness .
This organization has its headquarter in Madrid but it is present in countries such as Germany, France or USA.
They organize gatherings , celebrations , parties or their volunteers visit the elderly at home for some hours since it is focus to lessening the lack of affection and they try to made them feel alive again.
You can help making a donation because just with 20 euros a elderly person can join a Christmas party and receive a present .
You can also help becoming volunteer . There are many reasons for doing so but the main one is that this is a project which has as central point the friendship between human beings . Becoming volunteer you will learn from people who are a piece of our history which you cannot learn from the books , you will feel surprised by their gratitude and you became aware of the different social realities , doing so , you will enrich your life and will make you a better person.
