📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
VIN is a non profit charitable volunteer organization based in Nepal founded in 2005. VIN’s mission is to empower marginalized communities through enhanced Education, Health, Income generation & Basic infrastructure programs with special focus on women and children by conducting training and research through mobilizing local and international volunteers to promote equality, economic well-being and basic human rights.
💼 What the programme involves
International Volunteer Day is a chance for individual volunteers, communities, and organizations to promote their contributions to development at the local, national and international levels. By combining United Nations (UN) support with a grassroots mandate, International Volunteer Day is a unique opportunity for people and volunteer-involving organizations to work with government agencies, non-profit institutions, community groups, academia, and the private sector.
The International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly through resolution on 17 December 1985.
Every year, VIN celebrates International Volunteer Day with specific activities to make international and national volunteers involved. This day is celebrated to recognize each volunteer's contributions through their work.

Work and activities:
– Make a presentation on Volunteerism
– Arrangement for the Volunteer day
– Plan unique activities to be done during the volunteer day
