...At the heart of volunteerism are the ideals of service and solidarity and the belief that together we can make the world a better place.
...But far away from the spotlight, there are millions of generous individuals who, around the clock and around the world, roll up their sleeves and volunteer to help in any way they can.
...Volunteers do not ask, "why volunteer?", but rather "when?", "where?" and "how?". These dedicated and courageous individuals are important partners in the quest for a better, fairer and safer world.
Kofi A. Annan: International Volunteer Day, 05.12.2003
