International Volunteer Day - Celebrating the incredible spirit

At the core of countless initiatives from providing essential items to remote and underserved regions to education, healthcare, environment, skilling, advocacy, Volunteers contribute to address the most pressing challenges of our times. 5th December every year is celebrated as the ‘International Volunteer Day'.  The day was established by the United Nations in 1985. The day highlights the selfless service of this special community of volunteers worldwide whose goal is only one- to make our world a better place.

Humanity, Personal Growth and Community Impact

Volunteering is not just about service, it brings out the human element in any individual, brings about a team effort for one common cause. Volunteering is like a lifeblood for many non- profit-making organisations and communities trying to bring about a positive change.

Volunteering helps us give back to society, but also gives us many things that can bring about our personal growth. Teamwork helps in networking, volunteering during weekends in an area of our choice can help us reduce our daily work, boosts confidence and gives us a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. It helps us acquire new skills and explore the hidden talent in us. It helps us do everything with a sense of purpose and empathy.

Volunteering is more than charity and can bring the best of human connections and a shared vision for a better planet.

Volunteering has been at the heart of the advocacy activities of Adar Poonawalla Clean City Initiative (APCCI). Throughout the year, many volunteers from diverse backgrounds from college students to professionals come together for cleanliness drives at relevant locations or post major events. The main aim is to build a community which strives for sustainability and advocate the importance of cleanliness which has multi fold impact on the society. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer or a first timer, if you are interested in volunteering for cleanliness and advocacy you can write in to ceo@adarpcleancity.com or leadv@adarpcleancity.com
