"And maybe you do not change your life, but the way you imagine and plan, more inclusive, more careful, and more respectful."

logo smileGiovanna really made is rethink lots of things. See her experience.

 

"One wonders why I should recommend to young people like myself a volunteering experience. To me the answer seems more than obvious, and I repeat, it provides more than a "professionalizing" aspect: just to not become "old", not to become "unable" to life, to learn new forms of human language and its facets. And not least to reflect and question a system that, more generally, risks to level even us new generations downwards, to forms of widespread vulnerability, to which to lend a little 'of unhealthy assistance, without a real reflection on what are the rights, social, economic, existential, an enhancement of the human and its unsuspected potential. Because being in contact with vulnerable people, with the other, makes you think of the possible "others" that you could have been, and the other you would like to become, and everything you want to testify, calibrating different forms of awareness and action, maybe shared, maybe collective. And maybe you do not change your life, but the way you imagine and plan, more inclusive, more careful, and more respectful. Which is not a small thing already?"
