Volunteer Awareness Week 2009
Australia and New Zealand celebrate Volunteer Awareness Week this week, 14th to 20th June 2009. The have a blog dedicated just for this, and anyone can contribute to the blog with the username and password they’ve provided here - bloggers even stand the chance of winning a prize for their entries.
Another good blog that promotes volunteering and encourages people to contribute their stories is the one run by Seek Volunteer Australia.
It certainly looks like volunteering is alive and kicking Down Under. Over 5 million people volunteer in Australia. This is very heartening news, and it’s good to see the number of initiatives being undertaken to promote volunteering there. If you’re in Australia or New Zealand and reading this, I hope you contribute to one of the two blogs above, or even both. While we’re on the topic, wouldn’t it be good if we could it make it Volunteer Awareness Week wherever we are? Just talk a friend into volunteering with you today, and that’s a good start.
