International Volunteer Day is on December 5 every year. It started on December 17, 1985. It’s a day to honor volunteers all over the world.

Every day and every minute, volunteers around the world work out of their own kindness and make the world a better place. They protect the environment, build schools, care for animals. Most volunteers work without getting paid, and many do so using their own money. International Volunteer Day offers us a chance to do so.

Celebrating International Volunteer Day also lets more people know about the work and encourages them to join the volunteer team. When people see how volunteering is changing things for the better, they may want to donate (拼赠) their time and play their part.

Doing volunteer work is also meaningful.Volunteering is a good way to open our eyes. We may do something we never do and meet different kinds of people. We can talk with them and get their good ideas. Volunteers especially students can learn much from practice, get some experience and know how to solve problems.

There are many problems in the world. No one has answers to all the problems. But when we face them together, we’re able to find good ways to solve them. The things we care about today will help build a better world tomorrow.
