Volunteers, we are still processing everything we experienced last Friday during the official presentation of Cooperating NGO.
Firstly, we want to express our gratitude to Caixa Forum Madrid for providing us with an incredible space. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our first event. Thanks also to Lideremos for collaborating with us and wanting to be part of the revolution. And to Maravia for supporting this event and for advocating for a fairer and more sustainable way of traveling.
Secondly, seeing the auditorium filled was truly heartwarming. It gives us goosebumps just remembering it. And that’s thanks to all of you who were there, enjoying and sharing our excitement. Some of you have been part of the projects mentioned, have volunteered with Cooperating Volunteers, or will do so soon… All we can say is: ‘Thank you for choosing us; this is just the beginning.’
Of course, thanks to Manuel Rodríguez for sharing his experience and being the best presenter we could have for the event.
Thanks also to AfroJam Madrid for turning the end of the event into a party, for getting us dancing, singing, and above all, enjoying.
We still can’t believe everything that happened, but we are eager and full of strength for everything that lies ahead.
WE ARE MAKING NOISE, AND THEY ARE LISTENING.
THANK YOU.
Cooperating Volunteers.
