ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Volunteering represents a valuable resource for the social cohesion of the community.” This was said by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, on the occasion of the International Day of Volunteering for Economic and Social Development. “Challenges of ever-increasing scope are before us, and the action of volunteers is proposed as an effective component to address scenarios that make our
societies more fragile,” he adds. “Volunteerism is a generous expression of the inalienable duties of economic and social solidarity enshrined in the Constitution. As also affirmed by the United Nations, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals requires the contribution of each person, who through his or her voluntary commitment ‘becomes part of the solutions.'”
“The commitment to improve contemporary societies, proper to so many associative expressions of volunteerism, indicates and restores hope and prospects for rebirth even in situations of adversity and calamity,” the Head of State continued. “The Republic is grateful for the work of volunteers who, with admirable spirit of altruism and cooperation, lend their invaluable support every day.
