*******************************************************************************************************************************************
The “A Room of our Own” idea grew out of discussions with Deaf and Hard of Hearing seniors about what would improve the quality of their lives and how they could remain healthy and connected to their Community.
They told us that as Deaf and Hard of Hearing seniors they cannot benefit from programs in their Neighborhood because of communication barriers. The Happy Hands, a Deaf seniors group needs a permanent space to operate from to develop and provide the same activities found in mainstream seniors centres but with access to communication.
They also told us that as fit and active seniors they wanted to support their friends who are frail and possibly homebound but; they didn’t have the resources to organize a volunteer program.
SO, we took those ideas and designed the program “A Room of Their Own” which includes renting a space, providing transportation and a Volunteer Trainer/Coordinator to establish a rooster of Senior Volunteers to serve their Community.
The seniors in our Community have always volunteered, have always made a contribution and we don’t want them to stop! Many of the seniors who will benefit have volunteered countless hours over the years to many organizations; they have been founding and supporting members and Board Members.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND GRATITUDE TO THEM BY PROMOTING VOTING TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS & FRIENDS.
