• Jaime Martínez
– 35, volunteer since 2007. MSc in History, Schoolteacher
– Immigration and school support
  • Joined because of a solidarity feeling with the surrounding, triggered by a
    friend who is co-operant
  • The best of the Red Cross: institutional support and variety of activities to
    choose from
  • The worst of the Red Cross: is that overwhelmingly big that it sometimes
    works too slow and with little dynamism (“civil servants”)


Three questions Referents would like to ask
…and three questions that should be answered

Our mandate for you;
                                               What we would like you took home
Our worries
        –   Economic constraints; dependence from subsidies and fundraising
        –   Education and professionalism
        –   Remunerate vs. volunteering
        –   Having seniors as volunteers and not as beneficiaries
        –   Regeneration


  Our view
        – Red Cross´ assistance is experienced in the field thanks to VOLUNTEERS; we need them to be
          professionals
        – Society changes; we need to change and adapt to new circumstances and NEW WAYS FORWARD


Our requests
        – MAKE OUR VOLUNTEERS aware, available, professional, demanding, proactive, effective and efficient and
          reserve prominent places for them to decide/drive/act and participate
        – SUPPORT LOCAL OFFICES; they need professional management, autonomy, creativity and proactivity
        This principles have allowed us to make our own “miracle”; from an EMS ambulance service to a full scale
          deployment in 5 years time
                                                                              MAKE IT HAPPEN!
