It has been 10 years since the International Year of Volunteers in 2001, and the United Nations called for this anniversary to be marked across the planet. August 19, 2011 is World Humanitarian Day.
Every charitable organization or relief agency depends on volunteers. They are the oil which drives the engine. Raise your glasses because today is the day you are celebrated!
Today the scope of volunteering is huge! You can give a little of your time to help just about any cause that comes to mind. Not only does this help support the charitable organization but helps you develop skills and real world experience that studies just can’t provide. These days you are not even constrained to local areas because it’s possible to volunteer from your local computer. Here is a collection of real and virtual volunteering opportunites that are open to you from major organizations like worldvision and redcross.
On behalf of us, the charitable organizations you serve and the people you’ve helped: Thank You!
