Resolution by Chairman of the Local Council in Arequipa, Peru

On November 17, 1985, the UN General Assembly searched various ways to draw much interest from people in the importance of voluntarily contributing to the society by inviting many countries and designating December 5 as International Volunteer Day; furthermore, the UN encouraged governments in each country to participate in volunteer services so that more people from all walks of life will come to join the services overseas as well as in their home country. It is appropriate to pay respect to all those who dedicate their time to serving others in order to bring about positive changes for the wellbeing of others and countries.
