International Volunteer Day #IVD2022 #awareness #VOLUNTEER #CommunityWork #POSTREADING #POSTLISTENING

Every day around the globe, millions of people take action on issues that matter to them, volunteering with communities,organizations, companies and alone. In doing so, they bring us closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

According to the United Nations, International Volunteer Day (IVD) 2022 celebrates the theme of solidarity through volunteering. This campaign highlights the power of our collective humanity to drive positive change through volunteerism.

The UN Volunteers (UNV) programme coordinates IVD on 5 December annually to recognize and promote the tireless work, not just of UN Volunteers, but of volunteers across the globe.
Rising inequalities throughout the world implore that we need to work together to find common solutions. Volunteers, drawn together by solidarity, develop solutions to urgent development challenges and for the common good.
Volunteering is where compassion meets solidarity. Both share the same root values – supporting each other from a position of trust, humility, respect and equality.
In the lead up to #IVD2022, join UNV and volunteers around the globe to celebrate the spirit of volunteerism . We are proud of all volunteers who are role models in their communities by working together in solidarity and personifying inspiration in action.

Together, act now. Volunteer for a better tomorrow.

There are different ways to celebrate the occasion; they include group volunteering, online community service, virtual fundraising, and charity team building, spreading awareness.

Our students are going to spread virtual awareness. They will motivate people around us with inspirational quotes about helping others and volunteering.

Our students will share here their favourite International Volunteer Day quotes.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Anne Frank

As for the quote: I chose that quote because we don’t need a special moment to start helping other people. We all have the ability to help other people starting with the people closest to us.

As for the video, I loved the video. It is wonderful there are so many people who want to help other people without expecting anything in return. You can do so many things: give a hug, say a word or listen to others, it is worth more than all the gold in the world.
