National Volunteer Week Celebration

In May, we came together to celebrate some of our incredible volunteers and the amazing work they do in our community. It was a heartwarming afternoon filled with good yarns, delicious food, and a powerful presentation from our Wellbeing, Culture and Practice Leader, Kenneti, on “What is my why?”, a reflection on the personal values and motivations that drive us to give back.

Kenneti shared stories and insights that reminded us how purpose and connection are at the heart of volunteering, and how each person’s “why” adds something special to the work we do.

A huge shoutout to our dedicated volunteers: Gerlinda Van Der Holst, Thamiris Sgalbiero Ramalho, Macarena Antonia Aguilera Alcalde, Christian Biregeyi Ishara, Majid Mohammad Shahi, Samantha Moreno Jimenez, Leslie Ise, Ana Monserrath Velástegui Navas, Padmapriya Sathish Kumar and Nanaya Joseph.

We also want to thank Anqi Li (student placement) and Andy (intern) for their support, legends! To all our volunteers: your time, energy, and heart make a real difference. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the MCCGC family
