the oringins of volunteering

The word volunteer comes from
the Latin word voluntas, which means
choice. Volunteering is a type of work
made spontaneously, willingly, without
coercion or imposition, and, most of the
time, without pay.
Volunteers offer their time and work
without claiming any compensation or
material reward, motivated by values
such as justice, equality, and freedom.
Volunteering can be practiced in
several scales, from local to global.
These actions can involve welfare aid,
assistance to people with special needs,
fundraising, advocacy, adult education,
and environmental initiatives, among
others.

There are many organizations that help to coordinate volunteer work across the
world. These organizations are called non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This
term was officially coined in 1945, along with the founding of the United Nations
(UN). NGOs are exclusively non-profit, and because of this characteristic, these
organizations are often referred to as the third sector.
In 2010 there were around 290.7 thousand private foundations and non-profit
organizations in Brazil.
