Volunteer Ministers and the Help They Provide

Tomorrow is Volunteer Day 2006.

Here's what it says about this day on the UN web site:

The International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development (IVD) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution A/RES/40/212 on 17 December 1985. Since then, governments, the UN system and civil society organizations have successfully joined volunteers around the world to celebrate the Day on 5 December.

IVD offers an opportunity for volunteer organizations and individual volunteers to make visible their contributions - at local, national and international levels - to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.

I think it is important for communities to acknowledge the word of the volunteer, as it is a vital part of making a community work.
