Date, Theme and History of International Volunteer Day
This day will be celebrated on December 5 and the theme for International Volunteer Day 2022 is ‘solidarity through volunteering’ which focuses on how people must work in solidarity with one another for the future of our planet. Volunteers could be seen even way back in medieval Europe when people in countries like England tended to lepers and victims of the plague and volunteering was all about giving back to the community and to help everyone in need. It became more organised in the 18th and 19th centuries when organisations started collecting donations and doing charity work and community service with the help of volunteers. Even during times of war, volunteers were seen as essential for helping everyone who was wounded and taking care of people’s health.
