On the occasion of International Volunteers Day (IVD 2020), the FSL India team would like to thank volunteers across the world, and celebrate their commitment in creating a better tomorrow for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Together We Can Through Volunteering” is the focus of IVD this year. As the world gradually recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, volunteers will have a key role to play in accelerating the transition to green, inclusive and just economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t agree more with this message for 2020 from Ant\u00f3nio Guterres – the UN Secretary General: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2026. That is why, on International Volunteer Day, I appeal to all governments to promote volunteering, support volunteer efforts and recognize volunteer contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 is also the 100th<\/sup> year of the International Voluntary Services (IVS) movement, and Volunteering has become a vehicle for non-formal education, promoting Global Competencies and Social Leadership among youth which is essential in building a more just and peaceful world. FSL India has been actively promoting Volunteering and International Voluntary Services (IVS) since 2000, and we will continue to work towards our goal of developing youth for a Regenerative World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to end this post with a poem that sums it up best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not for the money, it\u2019s not for fame
and it\u2019s not for any personal gain.
It’s for love of fellow man,
It\u2019s just to lend a helping hand.
It\u2019s just to give the tithe of self.
That\u2019s something you can\u2019t buy with wealth.
It\u2019s not the medals worn with pride.
It’s just for that feeling deep inside.
It\u2019s that reward down in your heart.
It\u2019s the feeling that you\u2019ve been a part
Of helping others far and near,
That makes you a VOLUNTEER.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
