SCI wants to thank volunteers all around the world for the year of 2016. Branches around the world sent us video clips with greetings and new year wishes to their volunteers. Suvi, our EVS at the International Secretariat put it together into one video. In the video Femi from VWAN Nigeria summarizes well what we want to say: “Thank you to all volunteers for your contribution to world peace. We are grateful for the important work you are doing.
