11:45:47	 From  Rose FMSA : Thank you very much seamus the aspect of appreciating the situation on the ground and openness to be transformed too is very important in this process.
11:51:19	 From  Patrick Mooney : Thank you Seamus for your reflections. From the Cambodian viewpoint there is value in the power of presence & solidarity. There is a role for professional volunteers, sharing skills, building up communities & capacities of national NGO's. Also there are requirements from donors.
11:52:38	 From  Rita : How to meet the challenge of understanding the wider community context the organization is working within through volunteering online? 
11:53:57	 From  Vincent Kenny : Interesting and complex discussion. Notwithstanding the benefits of international volunteering it is primarily the international vol who benefits most. The technology available and Covid-19 experience should mean that “localisation” translates into paid employment of local skilled personnel (along the model currently used by multi-nationals for their remote working employees) by NGOs and facilitated through on-line training with occasional visits as necessary. Would the panel agree?
11:54:17	 From  Brian Sheridan : during full employment in Ireland 70% of people with disabilities were unemployed its a huge mountain to climb but we must take the first step

12:02:41	 From  Maria Acuña Gonzalez   to   Piera(Privately) : Welcome back Piera - thank you for joining us today
12:04:53	 From  Patrick Mooney : A very simple example of on-line volunteering - a volunteer in Africa doing the newsletter for an NGO in Europe
12:04:59	 From  Maria Acuña Gonzalez : That's a great point - we need to acknowledge there's always room for improvement and requires commitment
12:08:03	 From  Maria Acuña Gonzalez : We welcome any questions or comments for panellists in this chatbox!
12:08:31	 From  Patrick Mooney : I did some investigations in PC - they have had volunteers with disabilities. Some points made - needs to be a win-win result, structures needs to be in place, needs supporting and mentoring, needs to have clear needs assessment
12:11:01	 From  Patrick Mooney : clear expectations on both sides needed
12:15:36	 From  Vincent Kenny (Community Health International (CHI) : I believe that part of an answer to Shane’s question is that the Irish contribution to Development Aid has and always should involve Irish participation through volunteering whether it be from on-line or direct placements
12:17:47	 From  Victor_FMSJ : it is interesting to think about online volunteering especially looking at migrants and other excluded populations.
12:18:57	 From  Moyosoluwa Olabisi : So glad to see this history began in my hometown NIGERIA
12:20:54	 From  Maria Acuña Gonzalez : Thank you everyone for your inputs in this session ! We look forward seeing you again on our next session at 13.00 Ireland time - ZOOM link for the following session: https://zoom.us/j/91550881208?pwd=Q3A3T1pyUnBMeGZVWmdwMFFYZjZIdz09
