Celebrating Lake Taupo Hospice Volunteers - Alba
This outgoing, talkative and passionate Brazilian is always keen for new experiences and as a volunteer for Lake Taupo Hospice has certainly found her niche – already having taken part in a variety of the opportunities on offer to volunteers at Hospice. A former teacher with a strong love of sport and dogs she has been surprised to learn just how much Lake Taupo Hospice provides for the patients – from nursing care, hospital equipment, volunteer services and activity programmes. “I wish people were aware of all the services provided to patients of all ages and problems” she says. “Being a volunteer isn’t challenging and I’ve had many rewarding experiences. The way I see things and life nowadays is the best thing. It’s priceless to make a difference in the patients’ lives but the truth is they have made a huge difference in my life too. They have taught me to see things from a very different perspective and for that I am grateful.”
Alba volunteers in the activity day programmes, is a volunteer host and has covered an Art Exhibition as well as met the Prime Minister at the official opening of Izard Hospice House. She has also taken
part in a number of fundraising and promotional events and given a talk on Brazil to the activity programme attendees.
