"As we celebrate volunteers’ achievements, we must reaffirm our shared responsibility to invest in volunteerism—creating pathways for more #youth & #women to actively participate in shaping their futures." Rep. @DrAdelakin at #IVD2024 celebration today, on behalf of @UNRwanda.

Volunteering is part of Rwanda's heritage! From the ancient practice of Umuganda, to the modern Community Healthcare Workforce, Inshuti z'Umuryango, & Parasocial workers, the culture of volunteerism is part of Rwanda's story. Today we celebrate the volunteers at @unicefrw too💙

"..all the volunteers around Rwanda and around Africa, whether you are part of @UNVolunteers or not, for the work we do, I say to you, we see you." @ozonnia, Resident Coordinator @UNRwanda to all #volunteers for #InternationalVolunteerDay2024🙏 #IVD2024
