VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION CEREMONY 2006

Yayasan SALAM Malaysia held their Volunteer Recognition Ceremony at the Hotel Singgahsana Petaling Jaya recently. The main purpose is this annual event is to acknowledge, appreciate and reward the invaluable time, effort and selfless giving of the foundation’s volunteers towards community service, development and empowerment. It is also in tandem with World Volunteer’s Day which falls on the 5th of December of each year.

Volunteers received certificates of appreciation and souvenirs in the following categories;
1. Active Volunteers
2. Outstanding Volunteers
3. Full Time Volunteers
4. International Volunteers
5. Participating organizations in SALAM’s Volunteer Week 2006 Celebration
“This is a significant event for our volunteers. Often, society overlook or take for granted the service rendered by volunteers. Little recognition is given to their contribution and commitment ~ they seem to be ‘invisible’ to the public. We are here today to celebrate SALAM’s greatest asset – our volunteers”, said Executive Director, Encik Ghani Ibrahim.

SALAM volunteers serve with outstanding commitment and show genuine love for needy communities, working with the disabled, orphans, cancer patients, drug addicts in rehabilitation and HIV positive patients as well as abused children.

SALAM Chairman, Tan Sri Razali Ismail said, “We are truly privileged that SALAM is able to play a role, although I admit sometimes a small role, in facilitating and empowering our young people to become active citizens of change, committed to making the world a better place ~ creating a brighter present and a hopeful future.”

Yayasan SALAM Malaysia is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 with the primary objective of promoting and strengthening domestic and international voluntarism. For further information call 79584021 or log on to : www.salam.org.my
