| Design: | This special stamp is one of the lasting contributions of the Philippines to IYV celebration. The four corners in the background represent the four objectives of lYV. The dark circle inside speaks of the borderless assistance of the volunleers in a world shrouded with human miseries. The human figures express the volunteer spirit of goodwill and service to others which bonds and brings light and hope for struggling peoples and nations. The laurel stands for nobility of purpose and achievements of the volunteers; also of the United Nations which created lW. The logo is that of the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA), the Philippines'focal agency on volunteerism, Finally, the slogan "Make a difference: be a volunteer" captures the essence of volunteering and sounds off a call that volunteerism rejects no one, everybody can contribute productively to building a better world. |
