Dear Diary, this is INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY!

In this first entry into the "Diary Of Volunteers on Earth" Host Jakob Illek tells the story of how this Podcast came to be and what its purpose is.
He explores the origins of the word "volunteering" and why he feels that today it is more important than ever to talk about and appreciate people who volunteer their time.
With the release day also being the International Volunteer Day, Jakob talks about why the United Nations Volunteering program is so popular and competitive.
