Since I\u2019m not working for the moment, I wanted to stay active and I\u2019ve always liked helping people, which I sometimes don\u2019t have enough time for in my normal day to day life. I\u2019ve been going twice a week for about 3 hours, but today they told us that it would probably be our last day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you think that is a sign that things are getting better?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Well, maybe, but the reason is that we\u2019ve already called all the Red Cross members over 60 and they\u2019ve all been informed. Because there were a lot of volunteers, we got the job done pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It\u2019s nice to hear that there were lots of volunteers. Weren\u2019t you a little concerned about being exposed to the virus?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Well, since I was on telephone assistance, I didn\u2019t work directly with a lot of people, but the possibility of getting infected is always a bit scary \u2013 and especially the risk of passing it on to family members or friends, but in the end, somebody is going to have to get out there if you want to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where exactly did you volunteer and what kind of tasks did you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, I was at the Abando Red Cross center, calling elderly people above the age of sixty, which is the most vulnerable age group. We asked them about their health, how they are coping with their day to day life and if they need help doing their groceries or running errands, we offered them that assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What kind of feedback did you get?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">With some people you just spent a minute, but others wanted to talk, so some conversations were a bit longer. People are pretty tired of staying at home, even the ones who didn\u2019t usually go out much. You can tell people want to be able to get outside. In general, though, people were really nice and grateful for the work of the Red Cross, and talking to people who appreciate your work is really rewarding. I remember one man who was so touched, he said to me \u201cI really love you guys!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romotur\u2019s Nikole Garcia on her experience.<br \/>\nHow long have you been volunteering at the Red Cross and what motivated you to start?<br \/>\nThey called me last week to see if I was still available (I had signed up towards the end of March).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[15],"class_list":["post-3831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nachricht","tag-romotur-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Volunteering with the Red Cross - Romotur<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/romotur.com\/de\/volunteering-with-the-red-cross\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Volunteering with the Red Cross - Romotur\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Romotur\u2019s Nikole Garcia on her experience.
