You're listening to a Community Story from Be My Eyes. Hi, my name is Daria. I'm 34 years old, and I'm an architect from Germany. I'm helping at the Be My Eyes app. So I'm using it quite often, anytime when people are calling and if I have time, I'm trying to help them. I'm also volunteering in many different fields. I started in 2015 during the refugee crisis to help some refugees who were coming to Germany, especially to Cologne. There was a big point where they were trying to distribute refugees to different cities in Germany. We were trying to help these people to get to their families without being put on a bus to another direction. In 2015, I realized that life is more than consumption and going to work and having fun, but it's really essential and some people are really struggling and you have to do something about it. After helping during the refugee crisis, I decided to also help animals, so I'm volunteering at the animal shelter. And then I found out that there is this wonderful app for blind people, where you can be put together with a blind person and help them to find their way in a situation where they need someone who's sighted. I met a very interesting person due to this app, this is a guy from Azerbaijan. I need to say that I'm from Russia, so I'm speaking Russian, and I put in the app that my first language is Russian. I'm being connected to people not far from my area but who are also speaking Russian. I was put together with this man who is living alone with his son in Germany, and he's from Azerbaijan and speaking Russian. I started first helping him to find out about his blood sugar. Then he told me, after finding out I'm an architect, that he likes to draw. So this was of course very surprising for me that a blind person likes to draw. Then I encouraged him to buy some paint and he started drawing, and he was calling sometimes and showing me his pictures. And it was really fun because he likes that people are describing to him what he did and how it looked like, and bringing his ideas to paper. Actually, it looked not so bad, sometimes even better than from a person who can see. It's a very useful app and I think it's a very easy way to help people. If you don't have much time, you can just use your phone and answer the calls when you're free and within a few minutes you make someone else happy.
