"“An important part of being a volunteer is learning to respect and take into consideration the people we serve, to be aware that we’re not doing them a favour, but rather respecting their rights, and in doing so, working towards securing human rights.”. 

Esther is President of Profamilia Puerto Rico.

She joined Profamilia Puerto Rico in 2000 and was elected to the IPPF Governing Council in 2003.

An important part of being a volunteer is "learning to respect and take into consideration the people we serve, to be aware that we're not doing them a favour, but rather respecting their rights, and in so doing, working toward securing human rights.

This also means doing away with a paternalistic or class-based vision of the people who seek services, placing ourselves at their side in a single struggle for human rights, harmony and well-being.”
