Together with a social worker, Jan came to us and we started looking for a suitable job. We approached the director of one of the local kindergartens, with whom we previously discussed the possibility of cooperation, she already needed an assistant. The initial meeting went well and the director offered Jan a job. So we agreed on part-time work of 4 hours a day for half a year. Currently Jan has been working there for two months. "I work every day from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The janitor always gives me work to do during working hours. "Most often I paint, collect grass clippings or pine cones, maintain sidewalks or do minor cleaning," explained Jan. The director is satisfied with Jan's work. However, she adds that sometimes happens that he does not arrive at work. "But he always calls in the morning and apologizes properly, I understand that Jan can sometimes have worse days. However, the work he does can be moved to another day, so there is no problem. I think the system suits him this way," added the director, that understands her employee and he still does useful work despite his health handicap. Jan is proof and motivation for others that even after a long break it makes sense to go back to work and integrate into society and be beneficial to it.
