I would like to share information about an organization called iVolunteer that I’m going to start working with.
It’s a visitation program that sends volunteers to the homes of Holocaust survivors, providing them with companionship and much-needed assistance. Volunteers are carefully matched with survivors who live nearby and share common interests. Through weekly visits, volunteers build rewarding and enduring friendships with survivors. They are given the privilege of hearing extraordinary stories, and the inter-generational bonds that inevitably form ensure the experience of the Holocaust will not be forgotten.
I worked with the Shoah Foundation in the past, interviewing survivors so that their stories could be documented forever. It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Working with iVolunteer will be equally rewarding, I am sure.
