participants
To continue the long standing tradition/partnership between ESN Wageningen and Rumah Kitah, and to help members of a particularly vulnerable social group (the elderly).
The Walk with the Elderly is a traditional activity that takes place between ESN Wageningen and the Rumah Kitah elderly home (Plein 15 Augustus 1, 6708 AL). Together with our members, and sometimes other people, we walk some of the elderly around the neighboring area or to the market and back to the elderly house. Usually, the activity is quite small due to the timing which has a constraining effect on the registration, but is an activity that helps with the mental health of the residents. The activity also has a particular importance to us since most of the time the elderly that we walk around come from the dementia wing, so it’s particularly important that we help them as much as possible.
