The Yucatán Private Assistance Board held the forum last Wednesday: “Towards successful volunteering. Success stories and fundamental bases for their training and development", which aimed to respond to the concerns of a group of IAPs from the state who have been working on thematic tables and raised the need to have more resources for a better performance of their work. social and saw volunteering as a strategic means. Thus, Bertha Rosado, general director of JAP-Yucatán, invited to this event not only private assistance institutions but also civil associations, students, professionals, members of government agencies and the general public with interest in the development of volunteering. organized in the state. The event had the support and fun participation of the team of Doctors of Humor, coordinated by Dr. Foforito, who carried out a very fun dynamic that revolved around the importance of laughing and smiling at others. It would seem that it would only be an integration activity, but no, the members of this association skillfully led the audience to reflect that from laughter one passes to joy, from this to contagion, and whoever smiles every day gets "sparkles in their eyes." ”. The most important thing about their demonstration is that they made the attendees reflect on how laughing contributes to creating a positive attitude and therefore reinforces the will to serve. Yuctán Volunteer Forum 06 In order to meet the objectives of presenting the situation of volunteering in Mexico, what is the legal framework, how is it expressed, what are the contributions, how are people integrated into these groups, how generous are Mexicans, what is the situation of Yucatecan volunteering seen from outside the state, the conference that I gave, director of the Mexican Volunteer Alliance, was included in the program: “Volunteering in Mexico: perspectives and challenges to build effective volunteering.”
Precisely to provide some Phone Number List suggestions for adequate management, I pointed out that it is a fact that hundreds of organizations invite people to get involved in voluntary activities and they do so without having an institutional program and that it can give good results, but to make the most of the strength of the volunteering it would be advisable to consolidate a program. Yuctán Volunteer Forum 27 Here are 10 basic elements that a program can have: A plan that determines what we need volunteers for A place in the organization structure Understand that the Volunteer Triad guides the actions of the organization and its volunteering A reason for being that makes the program attractive by serving a higher value A person in charge who is the coordinator and who learns the trade A social cause where it is demonstrated that the organization knows how to make change Adequate management, knowing and putting into practice the resources of the volunteer cycle Policies, standards and a code of ethics A budget that allows, on the one hand, to have financial resources to carry out the logistics of the actions, and on the other, to invest in gratitude towards the volunteers. Communicate the results of the actions taken in order to inspire others to also participate as volunteers Subsequently, the forum program considered the participation of the Yucatecan Health Assistance Volunteers, VYDAS, where its president, Esther Cetina de Mendoza and Wilbert Romero Gómez, presented the case of this new IAP that in such a short time has been forceful in the actions they undertake in favor of patients and family members who are treated in the public hospitals of Mérida and Valladolid. Yuctán Volunteer Forum 19 (1) Esther shared how the institution was born, how they planned it and why she joined the Volunteers network of the Ministry of Health.
She expressed that they wanted to lay the foundations for there to be a replacement in the future of the presidency as long as the Secretary of Health is renewed in future administrations. She thanked the JAP-Yucatán for the support it has provided in terms of services for the legal constitution, training and guidance for its institutional strengthening. Wilbert Romero, director of Volunteering, shared some of the actions that volunteers have undertaken. Among them, services that serve since popular insurance do not cover stand out, such as providing prostheses to people who require them. Thanks to VYDAS, in addition to being integrated into daily life activities, it also improves your quality of life substantially. They also support cancer patients and their families, carry out recreational, coexistence and training activities at the Psychiatric Hospital. Both VYDAS representatives expressed to the audience that they believe that a large part of the fact that many people in Mérida are becoming involved in volunteering and showing interest in helping is due to the fact that VYDAS have relied on social networks such as Facebook (voluntariadovydas), Twitter and Instagram. , so they recommended that they also be users. It was then Ezer's turn at the Volunteer House. Guillermo Martín, general coordinator, presented a video about how this association was born in Monterrey at the initiative of Cristina González Parás. He then shared how Ezer Yucatán was born with the support of the Yucateco Business Foundation.
