Volunteer’s Day




On December 5th, International Volunteer’s Day, HPHA Argentina's National Office organized an event to recognize the work of individual volunteers.

More than 20 volunteers attended the event and it was an opportunity to get to know each other. Those who attended included volunteers who lead construction brigades; those who help with communication tools; those who provide legal literacy workshops and the “Little Bricks” workshop; as well as others who have contributed in different ways, such as those who helped produce HPHA’s institutional video, promoted the Fundraising Dinner of 2008, and photographers. The "Bring and Share" evening event began with an ice breaker game after which Carolina Mansur, Coordinator of Community Mobilization, spoke about the significance of the World Volunteer Day and the ongoing and quiet work of HPHA's volunteers. The National Director, Ana Cutts, then thanked those present who are such an important part of Habitat for Humanity Argentina’s work. Finally, certificates were given out, and the institutional video was shown.
