Volunteer Ireland

Annika Martin is a volunteer from Germany spending 8 weeks working in Cork, Ireland at a care home that supports people with disabilities. In this video she tells us why she chose to spend her time off volunteering and explains how she's helping the centre. Fiona O'Riordan, the volunteer and activities organiser at the care home, then offers some more in more depth background information about the centre and the range of volunteering opportunities with them.

EIL is an international non profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of intercultural understanding by involving people in a range of educational, environmental, health and social projects. If you'd like to learn more about volunteering at this project, others in Ireland and in other countries please visit www.partnershipvolunteers.org and www.volunteerabroad.ie

I dont mean to sound disrespectful OK? but I wonder how disabled are you? If you are on a wheelchair, but can move your arms, why can't you join a sports club for disabled people where you can meet other people like you?

I hope you find something there.

P.S you are not the forgotten people, God is still there with you.

Greetings for California :-)!
