As part of the activities of their Global Volunteer Month, 20 employees of Morgan Stanley donated more than 8 hours of their time to help Un Techo Para mi País remodel and set up its new office in Miami.

MIAMI, FL –To underscore Morgan Stanley’s commitment to employee volunteerism, the Firm designated June as Global Volunteer Month, taking part in volunteering activities and events. During the week prior to Volunteer Day, employees of Morgan Stanley Miami held a drive to raise funds for Un Techo para mi País’ office in Miami. With these donations, the non-profit will be able to set up and decorate its new workplace, which will help coordinate fundraising strategies in the United States.

“Un Techo para mi País seeks businesses that are committed to the region, and that are able to participate in the challenge of eradicating poverty in Latin America. We are deeply grateful of Morgan Stanley Miami for working in the installation of our office in Miami – the first one in the U.S. Without question, this office will have a great commercial and communicational impact for the project, and will mean that more families will have a house to provide for their children. Thanks to all the participating volunteers, for having trust in the mission that mobilizes thousands of young people in Latin America. We want to invite the Firm to dream with us, and built together a Latin America without poverty,” said Ignacio González Nappa, Director of Development – Latin America & The Caribbean.
