Last Monday the new year began in my Civil Engineers School. There were some speeches for the beginners by professors to explain them how hard fun is this degree.
And it was a chance to try to get new volunteers to work in the Cooperation and Volunteering Office in the University. So we insert an speech about it. Miriam Barreiro, who works in the Office and is volunteer in a hospital too, explained them our structure and projects. By my side I talked about the social liability of the Civil Engineering, and how important is to know and work in the ‘human scale’ besides lines and numbers.
I hope this information campaign all around the University had the effect of stop dropping the number of volunteers. I want to believe the new generations are less selfish as they seem.
