The Volunteer Organizations Information Coordination and Exchange or VOICE Network is pleased to invite you to take part in the Second National Volunteers Summit to be held on March 31 to April 2, 2006 at Miriam College in Quezon City.

VOICE is a national network that has convened various sectors of society for volunteers' continuing education, capability-building, advocacy and networking. In the recent years, VOICE Network has endeavored to sustain volunteer service by linking volunteer organizations for information and resources exchange.

The First National Volunteers Summit was held in April 2005 in Xavier University, Cagayan de Oro City. With over 200 delegates from different volunteer organizations nationwide, it was a fruitful exchange of ideas, thoughts, and encouragement. The success of the first NVS led to the commitment of VOICE to make this as its major event. To date, there has never been a gathering of volunteers this big ever organized in the Philippines.

Themed "Embracing the Filipino Culture of Volunteerism" the Second National Volunteers Summit aims to explore the contributions of culture to the development of volunteers and volunteerism and raise the value of understanding culture in the promotion of volunteerism. The highlights of the event include: conferences, volunteer development/reflection sessions, volunteer recognition, volunteering promotion, community building, museum tour and trade fair.

We invite you to join us in this rare opportunity to link with our network. In sharing with our vision and mission of valuing volunteers, you become an integral part in shaping the progress of our nation.
