International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December is a day during which the world celebrates the spirit and impact of volunteerism. Last year UNV adopted the theme 'Volunteering for Our Planet which was a very successful advocacy campaign with over 1.5 million volunteer hours counted to address environmental activities.
