Since 17 December 1985, United Nations General Assembly established The International Volunteer Day on December 5 (IVD) volunteer communities in the world celebrate this event. Honestly, I am not sure that most of us know about this event and it is meaning. Some of my friends don’t know how to spell correctly this word and, i am not expecting that they knew a aims of this global community all over the world. I decide to join announced event and this is my short report about it.

Behind my back 5 volunteer programs in Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). My carrier in volunteer service begins when I was just 18 years old. And now i can proudly say that i am not a newbie anymore but veteran and volunteer day is my professional holiday.

In that day initiative group of us organized interesting programs for this evening, many concourses, team mini-games, which allow us feels free and know each other much better. On the event I’ve met, a people who also like me were in Switzerland, one of the girl has a quite unusual volunteering experience in Mexico and Romania. We saw many photos on the projector, and revive our sweet memories. I hope that in one day you’ll read they reports too on this website.

In one moment I imagine that we are like a special agents who are going abroad to serve in the world and make peace, friendship and bubblegum (stick together forever), we
don’t know about each other’s and now we can share our experience about successful operations in different places of the Earth. We are global army of peacemakers. A sound impressive isn’t it?

This day is perfect for people who want to join our team but hesitate. Hey buddy don’t hesitate anymore fill application letter and go…
