Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed has shown his appreciation for the hard work of volunteers who have come forward to help communities in times of crises.

The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces said volunteers are the true strength of our societies.

“On International Volunteer Day, we acknowledge the dedication and community spirit of volunteers in the UAE and worldwide. Their work is an invaluable gift bestowed upon all communities,” tweeted Sheikh Mohamed.

The International Volunteer Day is celebrated on December 5 to thank volunteers for their efforts and raise public awareness about their contribution to the community.

Their work in the fight against Covid-19 is noteworthy.

In March, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, launched the ‘Your City Needs You’ volunteering campaign.

The campaign gave people the opportunity to participate in a variety of volunteering activities, including the fight against coronavirus.
