Whether selflessly donating their service and time at a homeless shelter, assisting free of charge at an animal shelter, or simply making themselves available for the personal needs of others, volunteers truly make the world go ‘round. In 1985, the United Nations decided to highlight these altruistic persons for their efforts and values. They chose December 5th for International Volunteer Day (IVD), giving individuals and organizations the chance to showcase their work to their local communities, other various NGO’s, UN agencies, and government authorities alike. No matter where you are in the world, annually millions volunteer their time and expertise to help make life easier. To celebrate, participate in a rally or parade near you if possible. Locate a volunteer fair or join in a community clean-up event. Is there someone in your life who consistently helps without asking for a dime? Be sure to appreciate their efforts with Le Petit Café Deux Gift Box!
