A Meaningful Volunteer Experience, Dedicated To Improving Lives

by: Paeto Wangweera - American SamoaProgram: Join Our Community Education Program

Paeto Chayarat Wangweera, a dedicated fundraiser from Thailand, has been a game changer for the needy in Uganda through his well-planned and executed fundraising strategies. My ability to identify and tailor fundraising initiatives to suit diverse donor groups is nothing short of remarkable and has significantly increased PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE’'s) reach and impact. Uganda is a beautiful country with friendly and loving people and plenty to explore. While in the country you can enjoy several beautiful sceneries and a range of cultural experiences that you can never forget. The local people are always welcoming, cooperative and excited to share their traditions. We experienced cultural dances and music during the weekends. Uganda offers a wealth of adventure and exploration opportunities for tourists seeking a unique experience! One gets the opportunity to tour the mountains, the national parks rich with a variety of animal species, the kingdom tombs among other valuable attractions. A key strength of my approach lies in my sincere and effective engagement with donors. By building lasting relationships and cultivating trust, I ensure that donors are not just contributors but also passionate advocates for the cause, leading to sustained support for the Ugandan charity PLANE. As passionate I have been at the forefront of campaign innovation, introducing a range of creative ideas from Thailand and adapting them to the Ugandan context. This cross-cultural synergy has brought about fresh, impactful campaigns that capture the imagination and open hearts and wallets for the cause. Resourcefulness is one of the most commendable traits. I have a knack for maximizing minimal resources and turning challenging situations into successful outcomes. My adaptability to fluctuating market conditions and donor interests has helped the charity to thrive even in difficult times. I and my family stand out for our commitment to transparency and accountability. My detailed reports, videos and communication with donors not only provide assurance of their investments’ impact but also strengthen the charity's integrity and credibility. Conclusively, my contribution as a fundraiser for the Needy Uganda Charity (PLANE) is immense. My innovative approach, coupled with the passion for the cause, has made a significant difference in the lives of many Ugandans especially the needy children who can’t access quality education. My blend of strategic acumen, donor engagement, and cultural insight positions me and my family as an exemplary figure in international fundraising efforts. We mobilize funds and send to PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE) quarterly to help purchase scholastic materials and pay fees for over 80 Ugandan needy children. Thanks to our donors for the generosity and I invite other passionate people to join me in this noble cause.

Incredibly Rewarding Moment

Volunteering with PLANE as Empowerment and Livelihood Manager has been incredibly rewarding. The organization is dedicated to advocating for the rights of children and women through various interventions. Outreach programs have shown me the positive impact we're making in communities. The power of information in fostering awareness and empowering individuals is evident through our initiatives. Recently, I worked on a fundraising project supporting orphans in Uganda to access education, deepening my connection with our mission. The genuine dedication to making a tangible difference has heightened my sense of purpose. As I continue with this NGO, my passion for positive change grows. It's an honor to be part of an organization making a lasting difference for vulnerable populations. Uganda is a beautiful country with a variety of sceneries , mountains, rift valleys , crater lakes , tropical rain forests , the different cultures and the good food convinces me to always visit the country on my free time and serve the people. The people are welcoming and freely communicate and we enjoyed the traditional cultural entertainments.

Fundraising For a Cause Is My Passion, Volunteering at PLANE Uganda Gives Me Energy and Motivation

My name is Anna Varanya Boonteang from Thailand. Am a mother and a Tutor at Maths Sci & English for Genius College. I learnt about PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE) from my son Peato Chayarat Wangweera, also a volunteer who narrated to me the amazing work PLANE was doing. My family and I are generous about humanitarian activities and helping the needy children is our passion. As a brand ambassador of the organization I started helping the organization to raise brand awareness and increase visibility and funding opportunities. I help in promoting services and programs of PLANE in the local language to implement marketing campaigns. I represent the organization’s brand positively in a multitude of settings; assisting in content creation; participating in event marketing; generating brand awareness through word-of-mouth marketing in my community and institution. Together with my family, we started fundraising for PLANE’s Community education program for the support of needy children in Uganda. It has given me energy and motivation to continue serving because the organization gives us the accountabilities timely. Join me in the campaign to spread the message together.
