from Lessons from Leaders · host Lynne Gilliland / Belmar Franceschi

This week I have celebrate a first. My first all Spanish episode with the incredible Belmar, Director of an NGO named LaFAM in Venezuela.Belmar Franceschi is an admirable leader working in difficult circumstances because of the pandemic and the political crisis.  People from Venezuela have migrated to different countries. Doctors in hospitals have left and other professionals also. Venezuela has a poor health system.The main areas they are working is with girls and women in their reproductive age, family planning, and offer birth control pills in their clinics and advocacy. During lockdown, people suffered stress and even family violence, the organization had to advise in how to report this the to authorities.Quick decisions were made in small groups to support their clients and personnel.  They worked in closed doors. As a contingency plan they reserved funds to cancel payroll and projects were suspended as they did not have sufficient funds to make other payments. Patients cancelled small fees for their services and medicines. These funds are used for buying medicines and other office supplies for the clinics.They are supporting elderly persons as they are alone seeking for medical treatments.  They prioritized decisions even though sometimes they might fail. Meeting in groups so that personnel could talk about their problems or stress with the support of the psychologists working in the organization. For staff well-being they celebrate birthdays, buy small gifts and their food. A challenge they have is finding well qualified personnel especially in the financial area and also other professionals.  SPANISH SHOW NOTESBelmar FranceschiBelmar es el Director de una ONG llamada LaFAM en Venezuela.Belmar Franceschi es un líder admirable que trabaja en circunstancias difíciles debido a la pandemia y la crisis política.

Durante el encierro, las personas sufrieron estrés e incluso violencia familiar, la organización tuvo que asesorar sobre cómo denunciar esto a las autoridades.Crearon sus propias políticas para trabajar en el espacio de trabajo virtual. La violencia contra las mujeres durante la crisis y la denuncia a las autoridades fueron gestionadas a través de llamadas telefónicas por sus psicólogos que trabajaban desde casa. Las píldoras anticonceptivas y otros métodos se distribuyeron a los pacientes de forma gratuita en sus diferentes clínicas. Abrieron servicios para pacientes oncólogos y otros servicios médicos.Se tomaron decisiones rápidas en pequeños grupos para apoyar a sus clientes y personal. Trabajaron a puertas cerradas. Como plan de contingencia se reservaron fondos para cancelar la nómina y se suspendieron los proyectos por no contar con fondos suficientes para realizar otros pagos. Los pacientes cancelaron pequeñas tarifas por sus servicios y medicamentos. Estos fondos se utilizan para comprar medicamentos y otros suministros de oficina para las clínicas.Están apoyando a las personas mayores que están solas en busca de tratamientos médicos.Priorizaron las decisiones aunque a veces pudieran fallar. Reunirse en grupos para que el personal hable de sus problemas o estrés con el apoyo de los psicólogos que trabajan en la organización. Para el bienestar del personal, celebran cumpleaños, compran pequeños obsequios y su comida.Un desafío que tienen es encontrar personal bien calificado especialmente en el área financiera y también otros profesionales.
