He remembered the contribution of these volunteers who have always stepped at the time of help on December 5, which is celebrated as the International Volunteer Day. This day is celebrated to honor the work of volunteers who selflessly dedicate their efforts and raise public awareness about their contribution to the community.

 It is especially important in this because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has taken the world by storm. The work done by volunteers during the times is extremely crucial as there are a lot of people without proper facilities and lack awareness on how to deal with the virus while continuing to go through their life. 

In Match this year, the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed launched a volunteering campaign called ‘Your city needs you’. This led a lot of people to join in the activity and pitch in for people who face difficulty in dealing with the virus.
