Providing medical care for children with serious illness isn’t always enough to restore their smile and their joy of living. Caring for them and their relatives is also essential. Today, despite the presence of numerous associations dedicated to children, many
hospitals do not have the means to offer them a lifestyle friendly and full of life, financial
resources are a priority for treatment.
Yes’Poir
It is to overcome this lack-of that Yes’Poir, a non-profit organization was created. Indeed, in order to bring happiness and joy in the lives of
these children, seven teenagers and I have led the association, in a spirit of support and listening. Therefore, we chose to build our
project around three main axes:
This whole experience was an inspirational journey. As a matter of fact, at the beginning of the year, the opportunity to take charges presented itself: I was nominated Vice-President of the association. It was the perfect time for me to put my leadership skills forward. And I did.
My overall job consisted of finding volunteers to help us put in place activities for the children as well as their mothers, to find financial donations, and also to find sponsors that would help us carry on with our project. Also, my duty was to advertise our association through a website, social networks, brochures…
Being the vice-president of Yes’Poir enabled me to further develop my team spirit, and to jungle with different point of views. Indeed, our team was composed of 8 young teenagers from different countries. Therefore, new ideas, different points of views to carry out our project coming from individual of different cultural background were the best ways to get quality results. In addition, working with other talented individuals and assimilating new visions and ideas was for me a positive step for my professional growth.
Throughout the year, taking part in an
association permitted me to prove my
abilities to work under pressure and to meet
deadlines. Each week, I had to take up an
ambitious challenge.
To conclude,
At the end of the year, we could all read joy in the faces of the children and it was the best feeling in the world.These children went from being sick to happy thanks to our dedication, our love and our ambition.
I am convinced that an IE Master’s Program will help me strengthen my knowledge. Therefore, I will gain the ability to improve my management skills that I will use in different situations in different projects in enterprises.
Also, studying at IE would be a great opportunity for me to deepen my innovative perspective and thus to precisely apply my creativity to business management. In addition, this prestigious school will help me broaden my network, meet people, create relationships and keep these relationships for the long term. Finally, entering IE, would be the best way for me to master business management.
I believe that the leader I am today will definitely benefit from an IE Master’s Program.
