Let’s celebrate National Volunteer Month!

DECEMBER is National Volunteers Month (NVM), an annual celebration in the Philippines which was launched in 1998. This monthlong event aims to provide nationwide volunteering campaign, influence every Filipino/sector to value volunteering and recognize its significance to national development. Likewise, we fuse this tradition with the world through International Volunteer Day every December 5 !
