Not everyone can do good for free. But fortunately there are a lot of such desperate people . Those who help their neighbor in a difficult situation are called volunteers, or volunteers. On the shoulders of these daredevils - the search for the missing, cleaning public places, helping the elderly and children and much more. Do not forget to congratulate your friends on Volunteer Day. Kindness deserves praise and gratitude. But the volunteers do not require any thanks at all, they do their best from the bottom of their hearts, attend orphanages, organize events and concerts. All of their affairs can not be listed!
Official status
In our language, the word "volunteer" has settled recently. For many centuries, people helping the state were called volunteers. The UN invited all governments to introduce Volunteer Day on December 5th. The holiday has an interesting name - International Volunteer Day in the name of economic and social development. Of course, lush festivities and fireworks are not arranged on this day. But to congratulate people who have chosen this path is a must.
Your work is very important to us, is needed,
After all, you change the world at times.
And decorate this earth
His spiritual beauty.
Not everyone can be a volunteer
And do kindness for free,
Smile and "thank you" - instead of all sorts of awards -
It’s more important for you a hundred times.
So continue your good work,
Walk through life proudly, boldly!
Such a congratulation can be written in a beautiful postcard and presented to a representative of a public organization on International Volunteer Day.
Anytime and anywhere
The work of volunteers is very noticeable and tangible. They appear exactly where necessary. If a disaster happened, a collapse, a fire, an earthquake, a flood occurred - a team of volunteers in a hurry to help immediately. In the search for missing people, they have no equal. Volunteers comb the surroundings, put up ads, interview passers-by. They will tirelessly disassemble the rubble, take out the garbage, provide physical and moral assistance to the victims. It was not for nothing that Volunteer Day was introduced on December 5th. Those who have been assisted by volunteers have the opportunity to say warm words and give presentations.
There are several reasons for doing such a hard business, each with their own. Someone is just kind-hearted in life, some are trying to prove to themselves that they can do anything. They want to be necessary and important, to feel that their skills are necessary for people. No matter why they do this, the main thing is that their help is sometimes necessary. This is a great help not only to ordinary people, but also to the government. Even the most advanced countries in the world need volunteer support. Therefore, on Volunteer Day, one must not forget to congratulate these good people.
Sport
At the Olympic Games, volunteers showed their best side. They helped foreign guests navigate the area, overcome the language barrier, conducted excursions, talked about our traditions and culture. This is a huge help to both the state and ordinary people. After all, translation services are not cheap. But people who consider Volunteer Day their holiday, helped not for the money and with great pleasure!
Many volunteers almost settled in the Olympic village. They became friends with the athletes and their coaches, received an invitation from them to visit. Now ordinary students have a chance to visit another country and learn a lot of interesting things.
Fun party
Volunteer Day in Russia is celebrated in a peculiar way. In many cities of the country arrange interesting promotions. For example, anyone can become a volunteer for an hour or a day. He will be given a difficult task, and when it is completed, they will only say “thank you”. Thus, you can test your strength, to understand whether this activity is to your liking. One day a year, try to do good or commit a heroic deed! Get unrealistic self-gratification and understand what society needs! To see happiness in the eyes of people, to hear sincere words of gratitude is the dream of any normal person!
The government of some countries considers Volunteer Day a useless holiday, as this activity itself, they call it a disservice. After all, volunteers need technical equipment, small funds for the necessary expenses. They are ordinary people who have simple human needs! But not in all states such a situation. Our government welcomes the work of volunteers and is completely on their side. Join the ranks of people giving goodness and warmth!
