\nGratitude in a Nursing Home<\/strong><\/p>\n
Ida Steinpa\u00df and Anastasia Bieker were at the Wetter nursing home for their project. As they interacted with the residents, they learned how to establish contact and identified potential challenges, but they quickly gained the elderly residents\u2019 trust and had many conversations with them. Ida and Anastasia were met with a great deal of gratitude, overcame a few obstacles while taking photos (\u201cthe hardest part\u201d), and gained insight into the challenging daily lives of the nursing staff. <\/p>\n
Anna Schwarz-Teres had taken a look around the Cappel animal shelter. She reported on the many different animals housed there, their living conditions, and the staffing structure of the dedicated team, which would hardly be able to handle its wide range of tasks without volunteers. Anna didn\u2019t hesitate to help clean the enclosures and learned that some animals are even turned in by the police or simply left on the shelter\u2019s doorstep by strangers. <\/p>\n Jacob Sch\u00fcmann, Simon Specht, and Johannes Dersch had launched their own project. Under the name \u201cEinkaufshilfe Marburg,\u201d the team had even created flyers and distributed them in the Cappel area. When the response was slow to come, they decided on the spot to visit the senior living facility in Moischt and ask the residents directly about their small wishes. The requests came spontaneously\u2014people asked for \u201cKatjes, chocolate, and Handk\u00e4s.\u201d The three reflected: \u201cWe were the young faces for the elderly. It was fun. Helping others makes you happy.\u201d <\/p>\n
