As a Volunteer association that operates in favor of the fragile and of the destitutes, we can’t miss this occurrence. Recalling that 19 November is the World Day of the Poor is a warning to remember and to remind ourselves that a lot still has to be done in order to guarantee to everyone the respect of Human Rights and of Equality.
Eradicating every form of poverty in the world is the first goal of the 2030 UN Agenda.
“Poverty goes well beyond the mere lack of income and of resources to ensure living in a sustainable way. Among its manifestations there are hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and to essential services, discrimination and social exclusion, as well as the lack of participation in decision-making processes. Economic growth must be inclusive, with the goal to create sustainable workplaces and promoting equality.”

Among the essential services mentioned by the UN, medical care and the right to health are included.
Together with the Volunteer organization Donk Humanitarian Medicine and its volunteers we are committed to offer free medical assistance to those who are in an emergency state, but who for various reasons can’t access the territorial emergency services.
We carry out our activities in clinics located in Trieste and thanks to Donky the service is extended also to other areas of the Julian March territory (at the moment one evening a week in Gradisca d’Isonzo). We are also involved in the development of abroad projects and in the training of the operators who work in reception centers.
Our activity is important because it helps in a concrete way those who need medical assistance. In order to do this and to extend the benefits it’s necessary to involve more people who want to engage in volunteer activities, both young students of health professions and retired doctors and nurses.
