ENGLISH:Volunteering in a Finance Department can sound boring, but at 26 Letters it is quite the opposite. Our finance team, or “26 Letters’ Rich Aunts” as we call ourselves, are the funniest team you will ever find! Besides, 26 Letters is only possible thanks to the amazing work of the team. On the moment, our finance team is working very hard on ensuring that our families receive our humanitarian aid boxes each month. These boxes contain the food, medicines, sanitary and hygiene products and baby products that they need to survive every month. Our aim is to deliver these packages every month to a total of 700 people while starting to incorporate another 1000 people that are currently waiting to be included in the program.
The department’s main objective is simple: to establish collaborations and find the necessary funding to deliver these packages. The means of achieving this are completely up to the creativity of our volunteers! Every two weeks, the team gathers at an online meeting to share and put forward new ideas. After the meeting, each volunteer stablishes their own objectives, as well as the time they are going to invest in fulfilling said objective and whether they will do it independently or collectively.
26 Letters’ rich aunts work from all around the world and they each have different skills and interests. This is what makes the department so interesting and ever-changing. Join the team and realise how far an idea can go!

Hacer voluntariado en un departamento financiero suelo sonar aburrido, ¡pero en 26 Letters es todo lo contrario! Nuestro equipo de finanzas, o como nos llamamos entre nosotrxs “Las Tías Ricas de 26 Letters”, ¡son el equipo más divertido del mundo! Además, su trabajo es uno de los más importantes, porque es el que nos permite hacer 26 Letters posible. Por el momento, el objetivo principal del departamento es conseguir los fondos necesarios para repartir de manera mensual nuestras cajas de ayuda humanitaria a un total de 700 personas. Estas cajas contienen la comida, las medicinas y los productos sanitarios, higiénicos y para bebés que cada familia necesita para sobrevivir.
El objetivo del departamento es simple: conseguir financiación y colaboraciones que nos permitan llevar a cabo nuestros proyectos. El modo en que se consiga dicha financiación ¡depende enteramente de la creatividad de nuestras personas voluntarias! Cada dos semanas, el equipo se reúne de manera online y propone nuevas ideas. Después de la reunión, cada persona voluntaria establece sus propios objetivos, decide el tiempo que va a invertir en conseguirlos y si lo va a hacer de manera individual o colectiva.
Las tías ricas de 26 Letters trabajan desde distintos países y tienen capacidades e intereses muy diversos, lo que hace que el departamento se convierta en una lluvia constante de ideas nuevas. ¡Únete y descubre lo lejos que puede llegar una idea!
