“[By becoming a volunteer] we were able to get involved and give time, YOCODESOP took on another dimension. It was no longer just an organization to which money was given, but it was a coordination of people who together did something. »
“At the end of the day, [as a volunteer] I get more than I give. There really is the art of enjoying the joy of giving, this is my greatest discovery. ".
“At some point you want to do more than give. [Being a volunteer is] Making YOCODESOP known, talking about it around me, giving visibility to Yocodesop, giving visibility to this logo which is magnificent and very symbolic, it's two silhouettes holding hands. »
“What motivated me was that I had no reason not to. (…) When we look a little, we finally discover something else, we discover a development project, we discover a structured approach and we discover behind the true reality of YOCODESOP, which is to have something reasoned, structured, organized is not just sending money randomly. »
