Volunteers will take part in the implementation of the Silver Taiga Foundation projects
On the 1st of June the first meeting of the volunteers took place in the Silver Taiga Foundation office.
The idea to invite volunteers appeared long ago. The projects of the Foundation aimed at sustainable development of our region are very large scale and for their successful implementation help of volunteers is needed.
Volunteers will be involved in various activities: participation in expeditions, collection and analyses of the field data, support in organization of meetings and educational seminars, work with pupils and many other things. Nine volunteers took part in the first meeting. The main objective of the meeting was acquaintance of the Foundation employees and volunteers with each other. The people who responded to our invitation are of different age, education, and occupation. It’s a proactive attitude and desire to act what unites them. During the meeting Silver Taiga Foundation employees told about their activities within the framework of the projects aimed at support of the villages, conservation of pristine forests and biodiversity, restoration of fish resources. According to the questions and already suggested proposals volunteers take an interest in the activities of the foundation and came here not by chance. The meeting proceeded in an active discussion.
After closer acquaintance with the volunteers and their interests, which will be facilitated by common and individual meetings with them, as well as questionnaire surveys, for every volunteer helper the activity meeting his/her interests and skills will be selected.
