Team member Tom Rüütel - Helpific Estonia, peer advisor

Tom describes himself with five sentences or tells us whatever comes to his mind right this moment: 

At the moment I feel tired from yesterday’s Rammstein concert. Life has shown me, that all the tiring and difficult activities are in reality the most emotional and the best ones. Be it a concert, engaging with something where I need to step out of my comfort zone or for example an evening with my friends. There are no impossible opportunities, there are only opportunities! You will never know until you have not tried!

When talking about helping people with special needs or the elderly, many accidentally believe that helping means 24-hour care that is accompanied by several boring tasks. Those who have offered a helping hand, know very well that helping is useful to both parties and it definitely cannot be called taking care of someone, let alone a boring job.

Kerstin confirmed that she has left every meeting with a good feeling and has clearly sensed that she can have an effect on someone else’s well-being. «I recommend to research about Helpific and weigh the idea of helping,” she says confidently.
