I. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Project content

This exchange session will be held between nursing Sacred, the highest age specific clubs from UNESCO and the elderly members, as well as volunteers from Free Hugs Hanoi.

2. Requirements for volunteers:

Currently, we are recruiting volunteers for both programs on 27.7 and long-term program. Volunteers participating in the registration program must meet the following general requirements:
For programs on 27.07:

- Young people who are responsible, enthusiastic, patient and rich in love, in spirit for the community.

- Age: from 15 years old

- Prioritize: people who have artistic capacity to contribute to the program.

For long-term programs:

- Age: from 15 years old

- Having enough time to go to nursing home for at least 6 classes / 3 months.

Especially now, at the second branch of nursing at Dong Ngac, Tu Liem, Hanoi, there is a very special case in need of your help. Currently there is elderly person who is Japanese and has worked at Japan’s embassy in Vietnam. Due to complications, he can only sit on the wheelchair and being cared for in nursing. However, in nursing, there is no one can speak Japanese or English so there is almost no one who can communicate with him. Therefore, we strongly hope people who have Japanese language capability can join the program to visit and encourage him when he is in this nursing house.
