M-team great success in the Netherlands!

There's an new team in town, it's called the M-team !

Youth volunteers and their friends between the age of 15 and 30 years are meeting elderly people over the age of 55 years and help them with their mobile cell phones. Most elderly people don't know all the functions and want to learn how to call, sms or make pictures with there cell phone.

Mostly they're living alone, with no help, no visits and they're searching for some contact. But not only elderly people are facing loneliness in theitr lifes. Also young people are more and more afraid to go out, or they're having problems making contact with people. So now there is the M-team, a mobile-meeting team where elderly people can meet youngster and ask them anything they want about the mobile phone. Some people want to know how to make a simpel phone call, others want their numbers put in the phone book etcetra. Most people come again a few times, other don't come back and mostly they come all te thime because they find it very much fun to meet eachother!

Join the M-team and make contact! Or set up a M-team in your own region, you will see it's lots of fun! It's a big succes in the Netherlands, so why not worldwide? It's a simpel activity and it's very helpfull to a lot of people.Check your local Red Cross or Red Crescent movement for details or write to me in the guestbook. Put down your e-mail and I will send you information...
