civil society the foundations we are
much more than improvised people with
good intentions
who we work in organizations of
civil society
we are committed to the
transparency with efficiency and about
we all maintain a culture that the
things can be done by leaving
important lessons for both
public institutions as for the
private companies there are countless
of similarities between a company and a
foundation as is the planning
strategic governance generation
Of funds
the allocation of funds
the big problem is that the people who
are outside the sector tend not to see
to a foundation as a company and the
truth is that if we do not operate as a
company
we will never be able to generate
transforming transcendental changes
in the lives of the populations to whom
we serve
I think one of the keys lies
around and one of the fortresses
radical about volunteering
the volunteers of the foundations
They come from different environments
different ages have different
ideologies have different beliefs
nevertheless, all ends are united by the
same end in the passion to help do not and
I think this is our great advantage
competitive
the emotional connection felt by
people with what we are doing
who we work in organizations
of civil society
we provide a service that nobody else
that’s why I think it’s a duty
rebuild us to lend this
service
civil society organizations
we are innovative
we maintain a mentality
progressively inclusive and we
we challenge to summon new actors
within the construction of our
society
us as a social organization
we know what we are responding to today
a problematic country from which the
state has not taken over
that’s why he believes that’s why we believe that
the coordinated work of
young volunteers
together with families in community as
they had said it before, it’s changing
the way in which we communicate the
way in which we interact and this without
doubt opens new spaces for
building a much more democracy
deep
much more rooted we are clear that
the state alone can not be
take care of everything and the private company
for more funds they have and in this
I think that the organizations of
civil society
we can jump on the court and take on a
new a new leadership
I believe that one of the great virtues
that we have the organizations of the
civil society in this ability to
power embedded in schools like
does the player player embed them from
those in the neighborhoods of embedding those of
hospitals and generate linkages
trust with the communities
this trust that is so necessary for
collaborative work
we do not feel like experts of
nothing
we are not the specialists
when we go to work in the
hospitals in schools in the
neighborhoods
what we are doing is
invite the community to play a
party the team we are inviting the
government we are inviting the company
We are inviting the academy
we are inviting you to us
inviting our children with cancer already
their families to play together for
together find the answers to
the problems and challenges that are
stopping our community
it is always a giant challenge not those who
we work in organizations of the
civil society we are always seen from
a charitable form of assistance
philanthropic
people tend to think that we live on
air that those of us who work in
Civil society organizations
we have no salary expectations and in
reality is that we have to break the
paradigm
we need to get more people
trained with greater conviction with
greater sense of social transformation
decide to work in the sector
lucrative is the only way in which
we will be able to build a not a new
society a different society not a
society where we can
look at the other I think we
we work just for that to
to be able to fill a gap a gap that
find not only society
as I had already told you but above all
that emptiness that is at the heart of every
one of us to be able to recognize ourselves in
the other as true brothers equal
I unlike from the talk
previous and that he shared with us
that motivation to volunteer because
yes because I was a happy young traveler
I had to face moments
difficult and that’s what what I
Personally motivated to dedicate my life
to this sector
I, at 19, lost my mother
she fought against a cancer
like many of the Ecuadorians a tumor
a terrible glioblastoma multiforme in
brain
we had more opportunities than the rest
we managed to leave the country
we operated on my mother we managed to extract the
tumor
however it was a very aggressive tumor
who claimed his life after a few months
I did not lose I lost my mother and my mother
has always been a fundamental pillar and
Well that was the reason why ago
15 years I decided to create foundations and long
black which is a social organization that
seeks to transform the quality of life of
our children of our girls and the
teenagers and their families struggling
against this disease as we do
looking for the progressive transformation of
a society with different values a
much more optimistic society a
much more solidary society where
finally every day we live all
much better
when we talk about childhood cancer what
first that people come to the
mind is a child without hair
I ‘m probably on a stretcher
some will even think that it is a
contagious disease and what all
believe is that there is a lot of suffering
in this child’s life not and
probably many of these beliefs
be true but many of these
beliefs are definitely false
cancer goes much further than it affects
not only does the child also affect the
family and social environment
probably the enlarged photograph of
the fight against cancer the most
affected is the child with cancer but the
brother brother who has to be very
only in
province and the subject of problems
social as complex as abuse
child domestic accidents
including violations probably the
most affected are their mothers mothers who
they have lost the opportunity to work
for being forced to carry all the
days to your children to hospitals mothers
that they no longer have the possibility of
get ready to spend with their husbands of
the houses go at night with them no longer
mothers have the possibility that perhaps
they are overwhelmed feeling that their children
they are going to die not and who else suffers and
whoever is most torn is our
society a little compassionate society
little in solidarity with what happens to
Around us
if we do not take action for the year 2030
We will have more than 30 thousand people
affected against this disease and more
of 20 thousand people would have died
consequence of this disease is not
both numbers only little bit
interest that we have as a society of
accompany people in this
travel
I believe in the tertiary sector I think
that it is fundamental to roll up the sleeves
sleeves to be next to them the
territory accompany you in this
travel because it’s part of the
experience of being human living this
experience and joy and sadness not
the challenges of life does not appear in
only once as human beings are we
exposed to fight against various things
not against poverty against
injustice against intolerance and
also against discrimination
I lost my mother a few years later
I also lost my father and for
much more critical issues
my father was kidnapped my father
He was finally killed by his
captors and this invites you to think of
that the only way we’re going to
live every day better and if that is
we focus on construction in
build social justice a country where
not only I, you who have had the
privilege of accessing a system
higher education we’re fine but
where all
Let’s live better every day I lead now
the agreement against cancer is a
initiative of 18 foundations of the level
country
that we have decided to articulate
efforts to work together to
make cancer a priority
in public policy
the government is not going to solve our
problems because the truth is that
they know our problems
it is we who can decide
If something is right or wrong, we are
we who can decide
build the future and this sense
citizenship with whom we share a
history
I share a story with the
cancer patients
this is what has motivated me to dedicate
my life to serve in this journey and I
invited to be part of this initiative and
especially so to finish this
chat
I want to invite you to leave being more
hands does not make and leave thinking that
beyond individual needs
that each one of us there
hundreds perhaps thousands of families
Ecuadorians who must fight as they already
I mentioned earlier not only against
an illness but also against
intolerance and injustice
injustice and also against
discrimination
thank you very much
[Applause]
