LAVEyou. Live A Volunteer Experience
Strengthening the work of recognized NGOs dealing with vulnerable groups of children:
· ARK OF THE WORLD
· The HOME Project
Our goal was to offer a day full of smiles and happiness to children that are not as lucky as we are, aiming not only to support thesegrant NGO’s financially but also make them feel part of our family. We organised an activity where people of Grant Thornton and the children from these two NGO’s would participate in various sports activities, while our energy and calories would be transformed into money; given to the NGO’s as donation by Grant Thornton. Almost 280 employees and 120 children participated, well-known trainers volunteered and organized the sport activities and a famous DJ and hostess were present to entertain our audience; along with our food and beverages sponsors.
· Personal contact and interactivity of Grant Thornton employees with NGO’s children through gaming and sporting activities
· Achieving a common goal through the co-operation of many people and companies involved in one action
· The fullfillness of offer and collaboration
· presenting and promoting the work of the 2 NGO’s that participated, to the employees of Grant Thornton, but also to all participants/ volunteers in the action, resulting in the creation of new volunteer-supporters in the NGO
· The huge positive emotional footprint that the action brought to the 120 children and the 10 accompany people of the 2 NGOs based on the feedback they gave us
· Through the action, all participants shared some important messages:
· The importance of sport activities in our lives
· The importance of good nutrition
· Τhe importance of equality and diversity among people
· The importance of cooperation and synergies in achieving a common goal
