On December 5, the Ministry of Health would facilitate an activity which will see volunteers participating in the Ministry’s cleanup campaign at the Square of the Revolution in Georgetown as part of the Ministry’s Health and Wellness Campaign.
On that day also, a public ceremony will be held from 11:00 hours to 12:00 hours at the Guyana National Service (GNS) Sports Complex on Carifesta Avenue. It will be hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and CUSO International (CUSO International Guyana works in the areas of education, disability and secure livelihoods. It is also implementing a national volunteering programme); and 2014 volunteerism calendars will be distributed and a video to promote and recognise the work of volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations will be shown.
On Sunday, December 8, the National Commission on Disability (NCD) will engage volunteers in a process to register persons with disabilities in the Rose Hall/Corentyne area.
International Volunteer Day was established by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on 17th December 1985, and is observed to celebrate and recognise the contributions and achievements of volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations across the world, for their contributions to peace and development in their communities and at any other level.
Since the establishment of this day, Governments, the UN system and civil society organisations have successfully joined volunteers around the world to celebrate this day.
