International Volunteers Day

Volunteers all over the world are remembered today

By Alex | Published: December 4, 2006

Today is International Volunteers Day.

Volunteers are working everywhere…in NGO’s in life-threatening danger zones, teaching literacy world wide,  driving the elderly to their appointments, feeding the homeless.  Fighting fires, supporting families, digging wells…the list is endless.

They do it without asking anything in return, just so they can help others.
Today is their day…Thank-you.

And for those who are thinking of becoming Volunteers…a thank-you can come in the form of signing up today.
