Bahrain yesterday joined the rest of the world in celebrating International Volunteer Day, which falls on December 5 every year. In an Instagram post, HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and Prime Minister thanked the contribution of volunteers.

HRH Crown Prince Wrote: “For every citizen and resident who volunteered for the sake of Bahrain and the sake of humanity, your donation is appreciated and is a place of pride for everyone. On the International Volunteer Day, we thank you for your contribution that represents the highest meanings of the authentic and unifying spirit of our Bahraini society,” said HRH Prince Salman."

The post also had a combo of pictures showing volunteers during their line of duty as a tribute.

This year’s IVD campaign thanks volunteers worldwide and also sheds light on the difficulties and needs of volunteers during the pandemic with the message: “Together We Can Through Volunteering.” The day is viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organizations to celebrate their efforts, to share their values, and to promote their work among their communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations agencies, government authorities and the private sector.

In his message on the day, Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, appealed to all governments to promote volunteering, support volunteer efforts and recognize volunteer contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. “Volunteers deserve our heartfelt thanks,” he said.
