International Volunteer Day - 5 December
In 1985 the General Assembly of the United Nations designated December 5th for an annual celebration by communities, peoples and governments of all that is achieved by voluntary effort -- by volunteers -- around the world. International Day is already marked in more than half the countries of the globe.   We think this would be a wonderful day to have a special volunteer recognition activity in recognition of work done by volunteers all over the world.Visit our Collective Wisdom area to share or read ideas of what to do on this day.
