Description
The Red Cross in Sanguedo is part of the Portuguese Red Cross. Our mission is to provide humanitarian and social assistance, especially to the most vulnerable, preventing and repairing suffering and contributing to the defence of life, health and human dignity, following the fundamental principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Volunteering, Unity and Universality. To do so, we mobilize the “Power of Humanity”, through the generosity of volunteer people (mostly young people), as well as the generosity of donors and partners.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The reservation of the place for the accommodation will be the responsibility of CVP Sanguedo. To this end, account will be taken the safety and comfort of participants. A balanced diet that guarantees the well-being of the participants is fundamental. CVP Sanguedo will support the identification of the most appropriate and profitable means of transport and travel, raising the awareness of partners to the importance of cost-effectiveness. The purchase of trips can be carried out directly by CVP Sanguedo or by the partner (with subsequent reimbursement).
Training during the activity
The tasks to which the volunteers will be allocated will be defined together with the volunteers themselves. In this process, young people will be encouraged to share their motivations for volunteering, what social issues they would like to work during the activities and what are their learning objectives. Volunteers will also be encouraged to share their ideas and suggestions forimplementation of activities, as long as they are aligned with the organization's mission. Later, a plan adjusted to the profile will be elaborated of each volunteer.
