VOLU NTEER WEEK FINANCIAL for students entering Douglas College
IN CANADA AID Dargie Cofese sedon’ fechiet

April 26 until May 2 has been designa-
ted Volunteer Week in Canada. During
this week communities across the
country will be recognizing and publi-
cizing Volunteerism by way of posters,
buttons, newspapers, T.V. and radio
advertising. The B.C. Association of
Volunteer Centres is introducing the
theme “The Red Badge of Caring” and
is encouraging all volunteers to proud-
ly wear the Red Badge.

Volunteers do not look for rewards or
recognition for the work they perform.
Most find satisfaction in knowing that
the work they do is worthwhile and that
they are giving assistance when and
where it is needed. Volunteers are
described as being “loyal, dedicated,
creative, resourceful and compassi-
onate.” It is true they possess all of
hese qualities but most of all they are
eople who care about other people in
their community.

At present, Douglas College is fortu-
nate to have over sixty volunteers
working for the “I-Care” program. This
program would not exist without these
dedicated tutors. They give their time
and their talent to teach another adult
to read and write well enough to be
confident in his/her own lifestyle.

They are appreciated not only during
this week of recognition, but for all past
efforts and future endeavors. We sal-
ute our volunteers and say a heartfelt
THANK YOU for their support and
tireless efforts on behalf of “I-Care”.
