Buddy Project
Become a buddy at the House of Compassion
When you're new to a country and don't know anyone yet, it's nice to have a buddy. Someone who can show you around in the city where you will be living. Someone who can help you better understand the Dutch language and culture. If you want to be that person, then become a buddy! You will be paired with a newcomer.
A couple meets for 1-2 hours per week. When pairing, we consider shared interests as much as possible to ensure a great match.
What do you do as a buddy?
Jullie spreken met elkaar af en ondernemen activiteiten die jullie beiden leuk vinden zoals naar de bibliotheek gaan, wandelen en koken. Zo oefenen jullie samen ook de Nederlandse taal. Ook zoeken jullie naar mogelijkheden voor jouw maatje om actief te worden in de Nijmeegse samenleving. Bijvoorbeeld vrijwilligerswerk, sporten of activiteiten in de wijk.
