Today we celebrate International Day of Volunteer.  It should be a big deal for many of us as the role of volunteers not only in Nepal but also all over the world should be always recognized and appreciated. Yet who is a volunteer? How can we define a person as a volunteer?

Part time, full time, formal, informal, religious, and traditional or even political activism?

There are so many ways to look at volunteerism.

It was a great fun, huge turn out, really incredible. It started very slow... because I and the ENGAGE Team were waiting in the wrong place in Basathapur but instead the rally started from Bhrikuti Mandap. We made up for the loss time and joined the Carnival

I wish more people, abled body persons would be there this morning but it does not matter. we were there and it was good
