Greek American

the problem:

I am helping anybody who is put into the reek American rehabilitation and care center. I go toi the nursing home everyday in the summer and on nights during the school year and I spend anywhere between 4-9 houres a day with them. I am saolving the problem of needing someone to be with thenm and hep them. I go to the home and I sit with them and talk and I also go their and help out in any activity that they havre planned that day. It is a wounderful experiencefoe me.

why it's important:

This is important to me because I volunteered at a Greek American nursing home and I am Greek. Also I love woring with older people and seeing them smile and light up when I help them complete something or just spend time with them.

the plan of action:

My Plan of action is simple. I plan to keep on going to the nursing home and helping out in what ever way I can and in what ever way they need my help.

how you can get involved:

Others can help by going to the nersing hone and spengind time with the resedents. thay can also go there and help out on one of the three floors doing anything from working in the gift shop, to playing bingo, to leading/helping lead an excercies group... Through doing this you gan gain a personal relationship with some or all of the resedents you work with.
