ONE HEART AND ONE CARE – The Joy of Being There for Others

  • A compassionate book about the importance of empathy and passion in caregiving.

"Salam alaikum, Erwin! How can I help?" Rashid Hamid leads his home care service in Hamburg with dedication and love. The encounters with elderly individuals bring a smile to his face, even though the daily challenges of caregiving can be demanding.

In his book, Rashid shares why he chose this profession and why he would do it again without hesitation. He puts a face to the many caregivers with a migrant background and their often German clients. Everyone loves Rashid, and Rashid loves his job.
