1 December: Day for fighting against the AIDS

3 December: World Handicapped Day

On this day, we should remind ourselves of the handicapped people’s rights, and, what is more important, to remind ourselves that we should keep in mind their rights every day all year long in this world, which, unfortunately, has not been tailored to suit their needs.

This date is dedicated to those who unselfishly invest their effort to help others or for the general welfare. Volunteering brings joy and pleasure. Therefore, join it!

 

10 December: Human Rights Day

In many parts of the world, the human rights are not respected.
