SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug. 6 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Tenerife Isla Solidaria programme, dependent on the public company Sinpromi, has launched a specific section for the summer period in order to raise awareness about the possibilities of volunteering during these months.
The CEO of Citizen Participation and Diversity, Nauzet Gugliotta, explained that one of the main objectives of this specific campaign for the summer period is “to promote that those people who have not been able to carry out any voluntary action during the year, due to studies or work, have easier these months to do it”. And this translates into activities in which they can participate in a timely manner and that do not necessarily entail a long-term commitment when September arrives.
In that sense, he made it clear that from the Cabildo they trust that “this special summer volunteering, with unique opportunities to be supportive people, can be a gateway that motivates to continue carrying out volunteering actions outside the summer months”.
In this way, for third sector entities “this type of collaboration is of great importance since during the summer part of their volunteers who collaborate regularly take a well-deserved vacation or need reinforcement for specific activities”, Nauzet Gugliotta specified. .
Some of the activities for which the third sector entities attached to the Tenerife Solidarity Island program request volunteers are occasional collaborations in sports tournaments; I support organic gardens; urban summer camps, both for children and people with disabilities; food collection and distribution; and, among others, actions in defense of human rights.
Volunteer actions are distributed throughout the island, although requests from the metropolitan area and the south predominate. The information is constantly updated so that people interested in participating can be informed through the website www.tenerifeislasolidaria.org.
