In a heartfelt acknowledgment, Olivier Adam, executive coordinator of United Nations Volunteers (UNV), extended his support to volunteers in the Chinese mainland. On February 13, 2020, Adam issued a public statement honoring nearly 500,000 young volunteers and volunteer organizations who dedicated themselves to combating the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19).
This collective effort showcased the power of global solidarity and the critical role that volunteers play in addressing unprecedented health crises. UNV's recognition serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment of these individuals and groups in safeguarding communities during challenging times.
As the world continues to navigate the impacts of the pandemic, the collaboration between international organizations and local volunteers remains essential in fostering resilience and promoting recovery.
