Volunteering:
Natate considers the volunteering as a mutual exchange between a person or a group that offers his/her time, work and energy for the benefit of a project of common interest and a community which offers to the volunteers a learning, experimenting, personal and collective development opportunity. The volunteering is also considered as a social tool which collaborates to the promotion of intercultural dialogue and Peace, and creates a relationship between local action and global reflection.
Volunteering is not an activity, is a way of life, a way of acting!
