In today’s world of global challenges, the work of volunteers to change the fabric of society for the better may seem very insignificant. But when volunteers in large numbers devote their time, skills, knowledge and energy, they make a significant difference. December 5th each year is observed as International Volunteer Day (IVD) – designated thus by the United Nations since 1985. The declared aim of this activity is to thank the volunteers for their efforts and increase public awareness about their contribution to society.
This year on December 5th, SOSVA held celebrations to acknowledge the contribution of its volunteers who have volunteered for many years,devotedly and professionally, for volunteering is serious business. The meet also provided a forum to the volunteers to share their experiences, both good and bad. It was heartening to note that the volunteers unanimously agreed that volunteering had actually helped them grow as an individual and in fact they had received more than they had given.
It will be SOSVA’s continuous endeavor to increase the number of volunteers with each passing year and help build stronger communities.
