Reflections on the International Volunteer Day

 International Volunteer Day – Celebrating Sofonie Dala, a Sustainability Impact Volunteer



On International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development, celebrated every year on 5 December since its adoption by the UN General Assembly in 1985, we honour the power of volunteerism and the people who drive positive change.

This year, under the inspiring theme “Every Contribution Matters,” the day highlights how volunteers and volunteer-involving organizations advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at local, national, and global levels.

Sofonie Dala is a shining example of how volunteering can be joyful, empowering, and deeply impactful. Through her dedication, she shows that anyone — mmregardless of background or experience — can help build a healthier environment and a stronger community, contributing meaningfully to the SDGs.

If you’ve ever thought about giving back, learning new skills, or simply spending more time outdoors, let Sofonie’s journey inspire you. Whether you're passionate about sustainability, eager to meet new people, or curious about traditional practices like scything, there’s a place for you too.
