"HAPPY INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY" This year, International Volunteer Day (IVD) highlights volunteers contributing to inclusion, and Sustainable Development Goal 10, reducing inequality within and among countries. The terms volunteering, volunteerism and voluntary activities refer to a wide range of activities, including traditional forms of mutual aid and self-help, formal service delivery and other forms of civic participation, undertaken of free will, for the general public good and where monetary reward is not the principal motivating factor (A/RES/56/38). Within this conceptual framework, at least four different types of volunteer activity can be identified: mutual aid or self-help; service to others; participation or civic engagement; and advocacy or campaigning. "By empowering people to act,and by increasing interactions between groups, volunteering can promote recognition of the inherent value of all people regardless of gender, age, ethnic background, disability or sexuality. Volunteerism is universal and, when accessible to everyone, can become a powerful equalizer." By Olivier Adam, UNV Executive Coordinator Kudos to all the voulnteers around the world and especially those who work in silences(unknown to people but still continue their good work without expecting anything in return). I am grateful to all of you for working hard to make the world a better place to live. @1mohammad_siraj @captainafsal @ratika__singh @azhar4in @tiwariprincekumar @unv_india @unitednations @mehetab25 @rishikr48 @vaibhavrathore__ @dowhatyoulove.coaching Adit and all other volunteer, thanks for being an inspiration for all of us #internationalvolunteerday #ivd2019 #inclusivefuture #olivieradam #volunteer4change #volunteer4inclusion #sdg10 #sdgs #volunteer #volunteerism #inspirationinaction #wearetogether #volunteersrock #vforce #unvolunteers #grateful #ivd #humanity #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/B5r8FP3B4Bf/?igshid=1838aark6fgp7
