The love for volunteerism and humanitarian work has propelled Ewin Enmore, 39, into becoming an administrator with the Guyana Red Cross Society (GRCS) and the President’s Youth Award Republic of Guyana (PYARG). It is a love that he has been trying to instill in others.
“One of the biggest challenges in the GRCS and the PYARG is getting people to understand the value of volunteerism and volunteering. I thought this was local but it is actually a global problem. Volunteerism has lost the humanitarian aspect and it is now more of a business type and looking for gains. That is not volunteerism. Volunteerism is giving of your time without seeking any personal or financial gains,” he said.
In an interview with Stabroek Weekend, Enmore noted when there is a call for volunteers, males do not respond.
