Last Consumer survey by NGO leaves very encouraging data. Bajan
voluntarixs socioxs and in social organizations.
Well, this picture is not new or surprising to those who are near the third sector right? This post is to see if between everybody can make a virtual braimstorming we throw ideas with NGOs to go in solving this problem that is long and seems to be worse ... we are losing legitimacy and social base, this is our personal reading of the headline " What we should do is exercise our responsibility as individuals access to information and ability to analyze, access to resources that could make many things to change, with potential access-or access-to the first and second power (state and market) that can become generators of changes ... we could go, but now you should have woken up our responsibility asleep (if it is well) so it's time 'get our act together'
to find solutions, and if they are altogether better and more secure processing.
What can NGOs do not continue losing voluntarixs?
Philosophy. Believing in the power of volunteerism or, better still,
believe in volunteerism. We fear that many of our large, medium and small NGOs have stopped believing in what once was considered a phenomenon. Neither is encouraging things, or lose faith in the movement or consider volunteering as a phenomenon, or a fashion boom. Returning to our discourse on the origins and move away from individualism and think about the transformative power of reflection and collective action (nothing to do with activism this reflection, for the record, we do not want this results in a separate debate)
Creativity and innovation. Invent new ways to make it attractive to participate in our bodies. If the world
- has changed, we have a different environment, a different culture, a population with other needs and have adapted our plans to that change, it is high time that our voluntary plans to change and adapt. We have brought many suggestions, we launched our own, as always and as always, consider volunteering with surnames: virtual volunteering, volunteer groups, corporate volunteers, volunteer families, volunteering by children ... and so on until we run out of imagination. Innovate in the channels of call, you know that from here we encourage you to
- hacesfalta.org abuse, there are many more people wishing to collaborate as volunteers in our organizations that calls for entities that can accommodate these concerns (this check here daily)
- awareness. Solxs We can not, we need to distance ourselves from structures that are only service providers, in north or south, anyway-and stay away from the reflection, activism, processing and ultimately the participation of society (or we will not market and third sector). We believe that those channels are out want to be inside, we help change things and delude otrxs; again trust in the power transformer having the volunteer. These are our three grains of sand, the idea is that we increase these between everybody and as always look forward to your comments!
- A hug and happy 2009! Arancha
