A week ago "Citizenship in Construction" offered information about some platforms that have been created to link people who want to volunteer with organizations that need them. Last Monday, the new smartphone application (APP) “Generation 2030 Volunteering” was presented at the United Nations headquarters, which has its own advantages both for civil society organizations that need volunteers and for people who want to get closer to some offer of voluntary service with an association. The application (APP) “Generation 2030 Volunteering” is an initiative developed by World Vision (or as it is also known in the country as World Vision Mexico), UN Volunteers and the developer of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), Julio Nucamendi, who is Founder and Director of DooHMedia. For the presentation event there were two rounds of participation. In the first of them, Don Antonio Molpeceres, Resident Coordinator of the United Nations System in Mexico; highlighted the role that volunteers play around the world in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 goals. He welcomed the fact that the new APP allows more people, their time and talent, to collaborate. For his part, Adolfo Ayuso Audry, Director of the National Council for the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda of the Presidency of the Republic, spoke about the way in which the government of the republic promotes the SDGs. For his part, Arturo Gómez Shuster, Representative of UN Volunteers Mexico, shared how the idea of this APP was born, which was started by World Vision and its representative.
Along the way, Julio Nucamendi joined, enthusiastic Finland Mobile Number List about the project, and laid the foundations for the necessary computer development. The idea grew and demanded more resources than the willingness to help. For this reason, additional financing was required for the new modules and the promoters invited Scotiabank, who joined the project mainly because it is identified as a resource to support the involvement of young people. Gómez Shuster recalled that the project was born in 2017 and had recorded important progress, but the September earthquakes delayed the work, but this situation made it possible to warn that the APP would have to respond to emergency cases. For this reason, this “is not a finished product” but as it is used, new modules and services will be incorporated, said the representative of UN Volunteers. In the second round of participants, Silvia Novoa Fernández, Director of World Vision, spoke; Dr. Rodrigo Villaseñor Roldán, Deputy Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Scotiabank; Leticia Montemayor Media, head of the National Institute of Social Development and Pedro Cisneros representing Minister Luz Elena Baños Rivas, head of the Directorate of Liaison with Civil Society Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Silvia Nova Fernández said that World Vision is “a global humanitarian organization that works so that boys and girls in Mexico live free of poverty, protected and in sustainable communities. Every day thousands of volunteers contribute to achieving our goal. contributing their time, talent and knowledge. We have a presence in 7 states of the Mexican Republic, operating in the field directly with more than 370 communities for 35 years.”
He added that the positive results obtained by World Vision both in Mexico and Latin America cannot be understood without recognizing that these achievements are explained “because we work with many volunteers” who by donating their time help various communities. Novoa Fernández said that his organization coordinates 19,000 volunteers in the region each year, of which 2,500 are in our country, plus volunteers from companies that participate in their projects. The Director of World Vision said that because “we live in a digital age where the majority of the population has access to the internet and technological connections… we promote the Generation 2030 Volunteering APP as a tool for the articulation, professionalization and recognition of voluntary action , is an effort to generate a positive action platform that alludes to immediacy in social action and also allows us to generate hard data on the contribution that volunteering makes to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), collaborating with international agencies, governments, corporations, other civil society organizations and all social actors that contribute to strengthening a culture of volunteerism in Mexico.” For his part, Dr. Rodrigo Villaseñor Roldán, Deputy Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Scotiabank, who is also part of the Board of Directors of the United Nations Global Compact Network in Mexico; He commented that in 2017 the bank's volunteers, more than 2,700 people, participated in the activities of 150 civil society organizations, so supporting the development of this APP will allow us to find more opportunities for volunteer service in places where there has not been any. direct contact with organizations and thus expand the coverage of said corporate volunteering.
