SMG attends launch of the UN World Volunteerism Report

On Dec. 5th, 2011, SMG attended the launch of the 2011 UN State of the World's Volunteerism Report in Ottawa. The event was co-hosted by CUSO International, Volunteer Canada & UN Volunteers.

The focus of this report is on the universal values that motivate people the world over to volunteer for the common good and on the impact of volunteer action on societies and individuals. We believe in the power of volunteering to promote cooperation, encourage participation and contribute to the well-being of individuals and of society as a whole (UN Volunteerism, 2011).
