What roles do volunteers play in promoting Habitability? We are in El Salvador this week to understand Habitability from the lens of people-centered development. What makes a house habitable and is it a product or a process? How should we strengthen our definitions and criteria so we can measure effectively and how does it build from or connect with basic services? Against the backdrop of empowered participation, how should we strengthen and formalize volunteering models so that local communities and families have the voice and the platform to drive improvements of their housing conditions?

Thankful for the opportunity to celebrate International Volunteer Day hosted by the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) in partnership with Australian Volunteers International (Philippines) and to be given the chance to present what we do in Habitat for Humanity International. Habitat joins the rest of the volunteering community in the celebration of IVD last December 5. We recognize the voices behind every volunteer we engage and the power they have to change the world. This year's theme, 'If everyone did...' centers on the power of everyone which highlights the collective action that catalyzes change so Habitat can continue to build homes, communities and hope. #IVD2023 #IfEveryoneDid #internationalvolunteerday #habitatforhumanity #volunteeringfordevelopment #volunteers #pnvsca #UniversityOfMindanao #australianvolunteers #volunteervoices Jocelyn Bonilla Donald James Gawe Ela Victoria Sarmago Anna Trahair Melanie Gow Chris Millora
