International Day of Charity
September 5, 2016
“At a time when the need for humanitarian assistance has never been higher and when there are more refugees and displaced people than at any time since the end of the Second World War, charities play an increasingly vital role in meeting human need.[…] I call on people everywhere to volunteer and act charitably in the face of human suffering.”
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
