‘Volunteers are not paid – not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.Sherry Anderson
Volunteerism remains the backbone to progress within society. The efforts and endeavors of young volunteers today, are fundamental to attaining the aspirations to a better tomorrow.The 5th of December was particularly chosen to show appreciation to the voluntary deeds of many, and encourage acts of benevolence within society in pursuit of a world free of opportunism and rich in compassion, selflessness and generosity.
This year in accordance to the theme, young people are celebrated as agents of change within their communities and globally.
World Assembly of Youth (WAY) joins the many other organizations in celebrating WAY Volunteers as well as the masses of young people engaging in selfless acts worldwide. Volunteers deserve all the praise and acclaim due, for it is not easy to find people willing to give their own time, to the greater benefit of another. WAY aspires to nurture youth volunteerism, by encouraging young people to partake in communal service and promote the principles of charity. They have inaugurated a volunteers program with which we seek to foster a dedicated group of young minds, willing to assist in WAY programmes and initiatives around the world. In so many ways we wouldn’t have succeeded in our events and activities without our dedicated volunteers who offered their time, skills, and resources when called upon. WAY appreciates volunteerism, the world appreciates volunteerism.
Happy International Volunteers Day!
