VOICES OF VOLUNTEERING – EP 2 – ALINA SHATSYLO: PHONE VOLUNTEERING
You can be a volunteer from the comfort of your own home with just a phone and the willingness to support others. In the second episode of the podcast, we talk about phone volunteering and learn how it works. Alina Shatsylo, project manager of the My Phone Friend project, believes that besides food, warm clothes, and first aid kits, we have to remember about psychological and emotional support.
What exactly does phone volunteering involve? How do you prepare to become someone’s phone friend? What kind of training do phone volunteers receive? Are there any ready-made topics for conversations? And what should not be discussed? What is the purpose of phone volunteering? Anya Bondarenko also meets Svitlana, a volunteer who helped an old lady she talked to on the phone raise money for surgery and move to Vinnytsia when the war broke out, as well as other incredible people.
