One way or another, the global COVID-19 pandemic stripped each of us of life as we knew it. For the first time in our lives, we had to stay away from our loved ones, our community, our work, and our social inter-connectedness. 

We now appreciate the little experiences we took for granted… A hug. A handshake. A kiss on the forehead. A vacation. A pilgrimage. The pandemic affected our livelihoods, our happiness and peace of mind. But there is a silver lining and we are moving ahead with measured optimism. 

We need to continue to follow social distancing and safety protocols, but with the arrival of the vaccine, together, and only together can we bring life back to life!

World Non-Governmental Organizations Day

World NGO Day was officially recognised in 2010 and adopted into the X Baltic Sea NGO Forum’s Final Statement Resolution in 2012. And in 2014 the NGO Day was inaugurated for the first time internationally. Today it is celebrated in more than 89 countries and over six continents.

The day is marked to make people aware of the importance of NGOs. Further, the day also celebrates the efforts of social workers and activists and honour their selfless efforts.

In an official statement of Josep Borrell, Vice-President of the European Union, he mentioned that in the post-coronavirus world, the Non-Governmental Organizations have played an essential part and they have, in fact, become the lynchpin of «living together.»
