The Funchal Municipal Chamber hosted the inauguration of the XIX "Laços Invisíveis" Solidarity Exhibition this Monday, November 9th. The initiative, organized by the Casa do Voluntário Association in partnership with 22 participating social solidarity institutions, aims to honor volunteer work.
At the ceremony, the President of the Funchal Municipal Chamber, Jorge Carvalho, highlighted the importance of volunteering as an expression of commitment and solidarity. "Volunteering is lending what we have best, our knowledge, and giving it to others," he stated.
Carvalho emphasized that the exhibition is a tribute to all those who contribute to a more solidary society by dedicating their time and lives to supporting those most in need. "It is, indeed, a commitment to our neighbor," he remarked.
The mayor thanked the institutions and volunteers for their work, reaffirming the Funchal Municipal Chamber's support for initiatives that promote the mission and impact of volunteering.
The exhibition is open to the public in the Funchal Municipal Chamber's atrium until November 20th, from 9 am to 5 pm.
