However, a day is not enough to spread the idea of volunteerism and aid for those who need it.
Volunteers are involved in different activities, each of them being significant for society as a whole, e.g. working with the young and elders, marginal groups, the disabled in hospitals, the homeless, firefighting, self-help groups and so on.
In Slovenia, there has been a significant increase in volunteerism, especially among younger generations. In the NE town of Murska Sobota they launched a two-day Slovenian volunteering congress, running under the slogan of Buidling Community for Tomorrow.
