5 Dec is International Volunteer Day

On World Volunteer Day, a special THANK YOU to all the volunteers on the wildfilms crew and to the beachfleas and all the wonderful people who have supported the efforts for our shores.

There is much to do and it would not have been possible without all of you.

Excerpt of message from the UN Secretary-General
on International Volunteer Day, from the world volunteer web

Tackling these challenges requires all of us to work together -- Governments, international organizations, the private sector and civil society in its broadest sense.

Volunteers play an indispensable role in these efforts. Yet, the remarkable contribution of voluntary action around the world is not sufficiently recognized.
