More than 96 countries from all around the world mark and celebrate today World NGO/NPO (Non-Governmental Organization/Non-Profit Organization) Day with different events, conferences and more demonstrations to recognize, celebrate, and honor all non-governmental and non-profit organizations and the people behind them that contribute to society all year round.
World NGO Day was created by Marcis Skadmanis and officially proposed by the Civic Alliance - Latvia at IX Baltic Sea NGO Forum in 2010, which was officially declared and adopted at Humboldt University of Berlin in April 2012.
The first global inaugural event of NGO Day was hosted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Finland on February 27th in Helsinki, Finland.
With more than 10 million NGOs & NPOs Worldwide and around 50 million workers involved in their -or other- communities, NGO Day is an exceptional occasion to gather and celebrate the constructive, committed, frequently challenging yet deeply rewarding community work that non-profit organizations engage in everyday, the local areas of impact and, in many cases, large scale transformations that result from such actions.
To the Civil Mafia team it is also a reminder that part of our personal journey was determined by the encounter with different members of the community who inspired us to become hard workers, uplifting leaders, stronger women and dedicated company accelerators and entrepreneurs.
? This day is an open invitation to participate, engage in and transform your social environment by bringing visibility to the work and dedication of any NGO you may be familiar with or interested in.
? You can share their profiles and actions in your social media or better, become a volunteer and donate your time to the elected cause.
#JoinOurGang and celebrate #NGODay!
