As the Global Action Month for Eritrea (20 November to 20 December 2010) has technically come to an end, it has become apparent to Eritrean youth around the world that this is only the beginning. Having mobilized people to send more than 13,500 faxes and emails calling for the immediate annulment of the UNjust sanctions against Eritrea, Eritrean youth in the Diaspora are feeling pumped to do more for their country. Besides advocating for their country’s interest, it is through their active participation in issues regarding Eritrea that national goals for peace, sustainable development and social justice can be achieved.
For this reason, the National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students (NUEYS) would like to remind Eritrean youth in the Diaspora of its volunteer program. As NUEYS’ members in all parts of Eritrea contribute to the development of their country and communities through volunteerism, NUEYS has also opened this opportunity for youth in the Diaspora.
FAQs of the NUEYS Volunteer Program
The mission of NUEYS’ Volunteer Program aims to strengthen the skills and development of young Eritreans through the facilitation of internships, volunteer work, community service, and national service for Eritreans from the Diaspora and through the support of community based projects in their country of residence upon completion of their internship/volunteer assignment in Eritrea.
