At the heart of volunteerism are the ideals of service and solidarity and the belief that together we can make the world better. In that sense, we can say that volunteerism is the ultimate expression of what the Desire of Ages Volunteer Network is all about. We connect the millions of volunteers who wants to serve tirelessly around the world - to meet people's needs, to protect their rights, and to help give them a voice. (Titus Tossy, Founder, 2005)
