United Way Hungary Site Visit


On Tuesday, we made a site visit to hear from Fuzesy Tamas, CEO of United Way in Hungary who used to work with the Hole in the Wall Camps. It was interesting listening to him contrast the two organizations he had been a part of, the role the board of directors played in the two, their strategies for fundraising, and his motivations for working there. We learned about how United Way had started its program with school children to advocate for child safety. United Way teams up with teachers in the schools and puts on programs to help children learn about safety concerns. He discussed their potential strategies for expanding and the process they took in developing the organization’s programs last year. His experiences gave us a very valuable inside look at two NGO's in Hungary.
