We are starting a global discussion to Share the Story about volunteering to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). We can meet the Goals, but only if we complement essential government action with the engagement of millions of people through volunteer action
Already, individuals are contributing their expertise; communities are taking steps to improve their lives; and decision makers are increasingly realizing the value of volunteerism. These stories don’t make the news, but they are changing the world. We invite you to join volunteers and others in the volunteer movement as they share their experiences and challenges in tackling some of the world’s big issues related to environment, hunger, education, maternal health and HIV/AIDs.
The discussion is taking place on www.facebook.com and will culminate in a 24 hour, online film festival (4 December) that will showcase the best video stories we have received from volunteers, communities, civil society, non-governmental organizations and United Nations partners.The festival will run for 24 hours so that no matter where you are in the world you can participate.
It's your story, it's our story, so let's share it.
Join the discussion and Share the Story today.
