Search for the Country’s Outstanding Volunteers On
The Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) recently launched the Search for Outstanding Volunteers (SOV) 2009. The SOV is an annual activity which aims to highlight and recognize the exemplary performance and dedication to service of Filipino volunteers in building strong communities across the country through volunteerism.
The Search is open to all individuals of Filipino citizenship and Filipino volunteer organizations or local chapters of foreign volunteer organizations that currently provide volunteer assistance in the Philippines.
Two awards, the National Outstanding Volunteer Award (NOVA) and the Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award (VLAA), will be conferred to the winners on December 12, 2009 in Manila.
The National Outstanding Volunteer Awards (NOVA) will be conferred to youth and adult volunteers who engage in activities that aim to benefit the community, the environment or individuals outside one’s immediate family. NOVA will also be given to an organization that engages the services of volunteers in socio-economic and cultural development, humanitarian, civic activities, advocacy, capability building and networking for volunteerism or is created specifically to recruit, train and deploy volunteers.
