International Volunteer Service Exchange and Sharing Conference concluded in Nanjing

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- The 37th "International Volunteer Day", International Volunteer Service Exchange and Sharing Conference was recently held at the China Plum Art Center.

Experts and volunteers from the field of international volunteer service gathered to share stories of voluntary service and contributed their wisdom and efforts to make an exchange platform for international voluntary service.

It was hosted by the International Volunteer Service Working Committee Secretariat of China Volunteer Service Federation and the Civilization Office of Nanjing Municipal People's Government.

According to a statement, at the same time, Nanjing issued an invitation to the world with "Together, Act Now".

"After the fall of Nanjing in 1937, Dr Robert O. Wilson resolutely stayed in Nanjing as the only surgeon in the city and saved many people. His fearless spirit also touched me," said Isac Amaral Pereira, who talked about the motivation of being a volunteer of Zijin Grass.

Now serving as a volunteer docent at the Memorial Hall, he often shares his feelings on social media to let more people understand history and expand channels of communication.

Across the barriers of language and age, groups of Nanjing volunteers have gone to other parts of the world to convey the warmth and love from China.
