28 At the heart of volunteerism are the ideals of service and solidarity and the belief that together we can make the world a better place. Volunteers do not ask, why volunteer?, but rather when?, where? and how?. These dedicated and courageous individuals are important partners in the quest for a better, fairer and safer world.
