The patron of Tempaus is Suzanne Innes-Stubb
The patron of Tempaus 2024 is Suzanne Innes-Stubb, Spouse of the President of the Republic! This is her greeting to all of us:
"Dear Volunteers,
Volunteering is the perfect way to meet new people, make a constructive contribution to the world and enjoy yourself at the same time. So whether you are passionate about the environment, want to help someone less fortunate than yourself, or you just want to share your talents and time to make the world a brighter place, I encourage you to get involved in a volunteering project close to your heart. If what you are looking for doesn’t exist, then start up a new volunteering project! With a little effort from each of us, together we can make a huge difference to other people’s lives and the world we live in.
Thank you!”
- Suzanne Innes-Stubb, Spouse of the President of the Republic
