Ankali looking for volunteers
The Ankali Project is currently recruiting volunteers to provide emotional and social support to people living with HIV/AIDS.
The Ankali volunteer training program has been developed to help volunteers gain an understanding of the many issues that PLWHA might be dealing with.
Many different topics are covered in the training, such as medical issues, current treatments, psychosocial issues, loss and change, communications skills and working with people who have complex needs. It is conducted over two consecutive weekends.
In addition to the support the volunteers give to PLWHA, there is a strong focus on the support the volunteers need to perform the work they commit to. Volunteers receive comprehensive support and supervision by attending peer support groups at Ankali House on a weekly basis, and also individually from staff members when necessary.
The next volunteer training workshop is being held over two consecutive weekends: November 6-7 and November 13-14.
If you’re warm, friendly, and accepting, can spare some time each week and can commit to the project for six months, you could be exactly the person Ankali is looking for.
