It's Sunday, December 5, 2010 and besides a day of rest it is also International Volunteer Day launched by the United Nations in 1985.
Volunteerism takes many forms as I discovered visiting the event You Tube Channel including teaching people in Laos how to get better nutrition by putting insects on the menu.
There are more videos shared on Facebook about actions around the globe. I was especially touched by Little by Little which shows Victor teaching literacy to peasants in the Andean region of Ecuador.
Sorry I could not find the code to share it here.
Kudos to all the volunteers out there.
