Humanitarian Civilian Diplomat Jethro

Currently, Jethro International expands the concept of Humanitarian Civil Diplomacy.

In this way, Humanitarian Civil Diplomat is a person who, in addition to carrying out his occupational activity, also expresses his humanitarian side.

In this sense, he can be an ambassador, he can be a teacher, he can be a businessman, he can be an artist, etc…

The difference is that in addition to carrying out his daily activity, he is interested in and promotes local activities in his community in response to the social and humanitarian demands of that community.

In other words, it expands its activity by proposing humanitarian initiatives wherever it lives and whatever it does.
