Happy International Volunteer Day! Help takes many forms: time, professional expertise, organisational work or support for someone during a difficult moment. Thank you to everyone who finds their own way to be useful. We wish you good health, trust and strength. May caring for others go hand in hand with caring for yourselves and your loved ones.
