Host/hostess

Ubuntuhuis is open all day on Mondays and Tuesdays. Around 25-30 people from various African countries, some of whom speak English or French, come to visit. Dutch people who are experiencing poverty or homelessness also come to us, often because this is one of the few places where they feel at home. 

We could use people for the following things:

• playing games
• doing dishes after meals
• making coffee and tea
• help visitors with calling, making appointments etc.
• Be a listening ear

This all takes place in an informal atmosphere, in a small organisation. Other volunteers have their own experiences of homelessness, poverty or life without a residence status and have gained a great deal of human knowledge and wisdom as a result. 

Commitment 

2 to 3 hours per week, relatively long-term (several months or more)
