Cómo participar como voluntario(a) en esta oportunidad
Volunteers can do crafts, hold conversations, play games, work puzzles; let the patient guide your activity level. Some patients are very conversational and just want someone they can talk with, someone to show photos, and maybe do something no one else will do with them (take outside and see the sunshine, push them in a wheelchair for a walk, listen to music). Each patient is different, some would like you to read to them, or play a book on tape. You will build that relationship as you continue to visit.
