Presentation of the Italia association Universita `Terza eta`Mola (Third Age University at Mola di Bari) during the third SenVol Meeting held in Klaipeda (Lithuania) in July 2012.
3. Volunteer is the one who
continues to do things to occupy
his time.
He is the one who gives with the
freedom that his heart feels.
He is the one who encounters
those who are less fortunate.
4. He is the one who never asks
himself the question: "... but, is
what I am doing making up for a
deficiency of the state?"
VOLUNTEER is a person who is
driven to act by the feeling of
brotherhood, who responds to a
need and a request for help that
otherwise would not be answered.
6. Volunteering means giving an
additional contribution to the Social
Services, not replace it
Volunteering means taking a great
trip “from I to We” through meeting
with special people and places in
contexts other than ordinary.
Volunteering means constitute a
force of social pressure, because they
are made all the structural reforms in
the economic, legal, tax, without
which the company will continue to
produce marginalized.
8. The Volunteers need to have a
common passion for the cause
of human beings and to build a
better world.
The Volunteers need to work
loose and free.
9. The gratuity is the distinctive
element of voluntary action and
makes it original compared to
other components of the third
sector and other forms of civic
engagement.
10. They must be witnesses of
solidarity.
They must advance proposals
and projects involving as much
as possible the population of a
more livable society.
17. It’s a social promotion
association that operates on a
non-profit organization to
promote the culture to the
elderly so that they are
responsible citizens at all ages
and builders of stories,
contribute responsibly to the
creation of a more livable
society.
18. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR
ATTENTION
Vi aspettiamo in Italia…
