International Volunteer Day 2007

December 5, 2007 in Highlights | 1 comment

Today is International Volunteer Day. I wouldn’t be much of a volunteer if I didn’t give it a mention here on the blog, would I? We had a celebration here in Thimphu on 2nd December (Sunday), organised by Volunteers in Bhutan (VIB, try the Google cache version since the site appears to be borked). The occasion was graced by Her Royal Highness Ashi Sonam Dechan Wangchuk and was a lovely affair. It was great to meet other volunteers and staff from other volunteer organisations in Bhutan.

Every day is a volunteer day

The Japanese volunteers in Thimphu put up a great show for the guests and public present. You got to hand it to those guys, their enthusiasm was contagious!
