People around the world are celebrating International Volunteer Day
with rallies, parades, volunteer fairs, group clean ups, blood
donations, conferences, exhibitions, fundraising, workshops and
volunteer recognition events, the UN said in a statement.
International Volunteer Day (IVD), on December 5th, was designated by the United Nations in 1985 as an international day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism.
"The act of volunteering is found in all cultures, languages, and religions. Every year, hundreds of millions of people volunteer their time and skills to help make the world a better place. When they volunteer, they help to improve the lives of others," said the statement.
In Nepal, to celebrate the IVD 2012, the UN is organising an event to promote volunteerism, thank former and current UN Volunteers in Nepal for their contribution and enthusiasm to bring their support for the community.
