Cada febrero, la palabra "amor" est\u00e1 por todas partes: desde tarjetas de felicitaci\u00f3n y dulces hasta anuncios de televisi\u00f3n y canciones. Pero para Kevin y Amanda Widmaier, el amor es una palabra de acci\u00f3n que define su relaci\u00f3n como voluntarios y defensores de DREAM.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEl amor no es solo un sentimiento\u201d, dijo Kevin, director de la oficina de gesti\u00f3n patrimonial BBR Partners y embajador de DREAM. \u201cAquello en lo que invertimos nuestro tiempo y recursos es lo que m\u00e1s nos importa. La importancia que DREAM y su misi\u00f3n tienen para nosotros se manifiesta a trav\u00e9s de ese tiempo y esfuerzo\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin y Amanda siempre han sido defensores de la educaci\u00f3n y apasionados del b\u00e9isbol. En 2016, mientras buscaban oportunidades de voluntariado en su comunidad de Nueva York, un amigo les sugiri\u00f3 que se pusieran en contacto con DREAM. Kevin se convirti\u00f3 en tutor extraescolar y entrenador de b\u00e9isbol infantil durante el verano, ampliando r\u00e1pidamente su rol hasta unirse a la junta directiva de la organizaci\u00f3n. Poco despu\u00e9s, los Widmaier llevaron su compromiso un paso m\u00e1s all\u00e1, creando una beca para estudiantes universitarios de primera generaci\u00f3n en su alma mater, Georgia Tech, y dando prioridad a los estudiantes que han formado parte de la familia DREAM, ya sea a trav\u00e9s de las escuelas concertadas, los programas extraescolares y de verano, o los equipos de b\u00e9isbol y s\u00f3ftbol de la organizaci\u00f3n. La beca estar\u00e1 disponible para los estudiantes que soliciten ingreso a la universidad a partir de este oto\u00f1o.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEl amor no es solo un sentimiento.<\/strong> Aquello en lo que inviertes tu tiempo y tus recursos es lo que m\u00e1s te importa.\u201d <\/span><\/h2>\n

Kevin Widmaier, embajador de DREAM<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cTanto para Amanda como para m\u00ed, la educaci\u00f3n ha sido un pilar fundamental en nuestras carreras y vidas\u201d, dijo Kevin. \u201cSentimos que encontramos un lugar ideal en DREAM, y poder crear una beca que permitiera a los estudiantes universitarios de primera generaci\u00f3n tener la misma oportunidad nos pareci\u00f3 una buena idea\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Widmaier tambi\u00e9n encontraron maneras de apoyar a la comunidad de DREAM durante la pandemia. Como directora de Inform\u00e1tica Cl\u00ednica en Mount Sinai, Amanda se percat\u00f3 desde el principio del brote de COVID-19 de que la transici\u00f3n a la medicina virtual afectar\u00eda negativamente a las comunidades marginadas con acceso limitado a la tecnolog\u00eda. Al observar similitudes con la forma en que las escuelas estaban gestionando la transici\u00f3n al aprendizaje virtual en ese mismo momento, puso en contacto al director m\u00e9dico de Salud P\u00fablica de Mount Sinai, Rob Fields, con el personal de DREAM, dando inicio a una colaboraci\u00f3n que ha dado como resultado mejores pr\u00e1cticas interdisciplinarias, programas de salud comunitaria y acceso a pruebas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNos pregunt\u00e1bamos: \u2018\u00bfQu\u00e9 podemos aprender de las experiencias de otros sectores?\u2019\u201d, dijo Amanda. \u201cQuer\u00edamos saber m\u00e1s sobre lo que hab\u00eda hecho DREAM y c\u00f3mo pod\u00edamos colaborar para cuidar realmente de nuestras comunidades\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahora, tras varios a\u00f1os al servicio de la comunidad DREAM, Kevin y Amanda recomiendan a cualquiera que busque oportunidades de voluntariado que se lance de lleno: que encuentre organizaciones que se alineen con sus intereses y valores, que contribuya de la manera que pueda y, por supuesto, que act\u00fae con amor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEl trabajo que hemos estado haciendo con DREAM nace del amor\u201d, dijo Amanda. \u201cY se recibe much\u00edsimo a cambio. Es mutuo, y las acciones son muy gratificantes\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
