BANK OF TIME
What is the bank of time?
It is a tool with which a group of people can create a social economic alternative. In a Time Bank skills are exchanged between members without using money, only the hours of service rendered and received are counted.
How did you find out about the bank of time?
On holiday in Greece, some friends told me what the banks of time are. Then in Barcelona I saw a sign on the streets about it. And I started being part of that amazing project.
Why did you participate in this project?
I had a lot of free time and I thought it would be very interesting to learn new things and meet different people.

BANK OF TIME
Do you plan to leave the time bank?
Never, is it my passion. I have a great time and I help a lot of people.
What is your skill?
I offer to teach how to make Greek recipes and help to plan trips to Greece. Also, English conversation and teaching board games.
How many exchanges have you made?
Lots, maybe about 30. The last thing I did was asking someone to take me to the vet because I don't have a car.

RED CROSS
What is the Red Cross?
It is an international humanitarian organization that helps people in situations of basic need or vulnerability caused by any reason and without exclusion or discrimination of any kind.
Since when are you a volunteer?
I volunteered during confinement because I had time and to be able to help people who needed it at that time.
Have you helped abroad?
Hopefully. I would very much like to do some international cooperation.
Why is the symbol a red cross?
Because the idea was from Swiss and the flag of Switzerland was used. Also, white is the color of peace.
What has been your biggest volunteer experience?
To have accompanied the elderly to receive medical attention in hospitals and receive their immense gratitude.

Huge satisfaction and happiness.

How many hours do you dedicate?

At what age can you become a volunteer?
At 16, although you can help when you are younger as long as you are accompanied by a responsible adult.
What does your collaboration consist of?
I am part of the Red Cross Youth group and I am one responsible for the RRSS (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, ...) of the Red Cross of Mollet.
Have you saved someone from the Covid-19 pandemic?
We have helped many people. I do not know if we have saved them or not, but they have had our help and collaboration at their disposal in one of the worst moments of their lives.

Do you ask for a title to be a Red Cross volunteer?
No. Just involvement and dedication.
