Sponsorship Contest: Promoting Volunteerism for the MDGs
United Nations Volunteers (UNV) is pleased to launch a
contest inviting young Vietnamese people to apply for
sponsorship of USD 1,000 to support an initiative that
promotes volunteerism for the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
This contest follows on an innovative effort made in 2003 by
Nguyen Van Dung, a 24 year-old volunteer, who traveled from
Hanoi to HCMC by bicycle to raise awareness of the MDGs
amongst young people all over Viet Nam. He spoke to groups
of young people in Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Dalat, and Vung
Tau encouraging them to help achieve the MDGs Viet Nam.
This year, UNV’s sponsorship wants to reward a similar
initiative that is both innovative and effective in
promoting volunteerism for the MDGs. The contest is open to
all Vietnamese individuals or groups whose members are under
25. Sponsorship will be granted for one best innovative idea
on International Youth Day (12 August 2004) and the
initiative should be completed by International Volunteer
Day (5 December 2004) at the latest.
To apply for this sponsorship, candidates need to send a
proposal (in Vietnamese, max. 4 pages) to UNV, including the
following components:
- Clear description of the initiative you want to undertake
(including time, venue, target group, etc.)
- Explanation of how the initiative will promote
volunteerism for the MDGs
- Short introduction of the person or persons that will
undertake the initiative (educational background,
occupation, motivation, etc.)
- Breakdown of how the financial sponsorship of up to USD
1,000 will be used
- Contact details (including phone number and e-mail
address, if possible)
Sponsorship proposals should be submitted by 15 July 2004 to
