Time Please Volunteering Program
GLOBE Telecom, the leading telecommunications company, brought together once again media practitioners and bloggers to announce their partnership with The Walt Disney Company Philippines to promote volunteerism among Filipinos through their “Time Please” campaign.
Share your TIME PLEASE
Time Please is a nationwide volunteering program that inspires and encourages our kababayans to provide volunteer activities or join in existing volunteer programs. The program includes individuals, groups, companies and organizations that are interested in participating in worthy causes.
The program supports Globe’s commitment to nine (9) of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also appeals to the Filipino’s strong culture of volunteerism ingrained in our traditions through the bayanihan spirit by helping others in the community especially in times of need without expecting anything in return.
For this purpose they have developed the volunteer matching portal www.timeplease.ph which was done by Globe Future Maker iVolunteer Philippines together with the volunteer portal of Gawad Kalinga. Through this portal individual volunteers or groups are connected with different volunteering opportunities in the country.
Those who have ongoing volunteer programs like establishments or groups can also enroll their activities in the “Time Please” platform and have their volunteer hours registered.
Time Please has a wide array of volunteering activities. As explained in their press release, the program unites the volunteering ecosystem by matching the volunteers to the volunteer organization by using a simple and convenient platform. Anyone around the country can sign up for free by using any device with online access. They can form groups to join the volunteer activities enrolled in Time Please.
Media and Bloggers affair
During the media/bloggers event, we had the chance to participate in an activity where we were given boxes and school supplies (pad paper, pencils, sharpener, eraser, crayons among others) to fill in each box. The boxes will be sent to a designated school in Bacolod City as part of Globe’s volunteering campaign.
Why Volunteer?
Being a volunteer, whether in an organization or just a small group, gives us a sense of fulfillment. When we give our time, we are also feeding our hearts with love. As we extend our generosity, we feel gladness and most of all, we feel spiritually full as we are able to give our time, effort or share our material blessings with people in need.
How to Join Time Please?
- Each group should have a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4) individuals to be able to join.
- A Team Leader should be nominated by the group who is at least 18 years of age and with an active Globe or TM number to register the group.
The program will run from May 25 to August 19, 2018 and is open to individuals willing and able to do volunteer work.
Win a Trip to HK Disneyland
This is exciting! Good news to all Time Please volunteers – the group with the most number of volunteer hour credits at the end of the program will win an all-expense paid trip for four (4) to Hong Kong Disneyland. Wow, isn’t this great?
