Société
The association «My ear for you - just talk!» operates the first everyday telephone for young and old in Switzerland. People who don't have anyone to talk to or who just want to chat can find a volunteer employee who will listen to them in order to have an everyday conversation.
The initiative would like to make a contribution to social participation and make a low-threshold telephone offer to lonely people with little or no social contacts. We all know what a good conversation can do: we just feel better afterwards.
An initiative from the heart of society - people for people - 100% volunteer work.
Duration:
- 3 hours per week.
- Over a period of 9 months or longer.
- Start and use is by arrangement.

The telephone service is made from home via the toll-free number.
