Volunteers driven by solidarity and willingness to help others celebrate IVD in Peru
Volunteering means to do your bit, driven by solidarity and willingness to help others. The efforts that are being made to promote volunteerism, make its contributions to sustainable development visible and recognize the work of every volunteer in different sectors of Peru and worldwide are multiple. Thus, this year, on 5 December we celebrated the 20th edition of International Volunteer Day (IVD).
Fifty years ago, the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme was born, with the purpose of contributing to peace and development in the world through volunteerism.
