I am doing social action at “Hogar San Jose”, this place is an asylum directed by "La Congregación de las Hermanitas de los Ancianos Desamparados" this center was foundation in 1873, this asylum offer attention to people who spent the last years of their life under care of the personal and the religious. It doesn´t mean they have or not family each case is different.
“Hogar San Jose” has 126 elderly persons. They are divided by categories women´s and men ´s whose are able to do things by their own and the other side whose aren´t able to be independent for these antecedents they are a vulnerable group due they need attention, dedication, love and company.
At the beginning the grandma´s were shy because at that age they do not trust easily on people but when they start to see me and we talk for a long time, often we make recreative activities where they show me their charismatic caracter .
This is a good start! Why did you choose this place to serve? What do you hope to teach or to learn there?
ResponderEliminaroh well!! i choose this kind of serve because i never knew my grandma so i would like have the opportunity to make good relationships with them... i don´t think i get the opportunity to teach something because they are in general a little bit sick so they company cuz their loneliness is very deep
ResponderEliminarhow did you feel working with this people? what did you learn about this experience?
