Why He Needs a Volunteer: While he speaks English to some extent, he is much more comfortable communicating in Ukrainian, Russian and having a volunteer who speaks Ukrainian would make a huge difference in his day-to-day interactions.

Key Responsibilities: * Engage in friendly conversations with the participant in Ukrainian, offering him the chance to share his stories and memories. * Be a positive, friendly presence in his life, making sure he feels supported and valued. * Provide companionship and emotional support, particularly with his interests in family, health, and happiness.
