International Volunteer Day

December 5 - International Volunteer Day

Pearls of Africa is proud and honored to involve volunteers in its operations. Indeed, volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. For this reason, Pearls of Africa is proud to join others around the world in celebrating International Volunteer Day!

About the Day

"In 1985 the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed December 5 as International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development. The day is promoted by the
UN Volunteers
program and provides a perfect opportunity to highlight the hard work, dedication and valuable contribution of volunteers everywhere.
Read the resolution UN Resolution 40/212 that started International Volunteer Day."

In celebration of IVD 2002, and in honor of all of our hardworking online volunteers, Pearls of Africa is proud to launch our Online Volunteer Recognition page. On this page you can meet all of the dedicated individuals who donate their time and services to help POA.
