Message of the secretary-general on international volunteer's day 1994

Abstract

On this press release message of the Secretary-General on International volunteers day 1994. Across the world volunteers come from every segment of the population. They present a vast diversity of age, race, nationality and culture, and a wide variety of life experience. The United Nations Volunteers are just one part of a worldwide corps of volunteers who are working every day to improve people’s lives. On this International Volunteers Day, as we commend volunteers for their efforts, let us also learn from their human focus. Let us be inspired by their active commitment. Let us recognize that volunteers and the ideals they represent will be increasingly important in a world peace, justice and prosperity require ever widening cooperative effort.
