Refugees Volunteers generates lifesaving
humanitarian assistance and protection for displaced people
around the world and works to end the conditions that
create displacement.
A refugee is a person who owing to a well-founded fear
of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality,
membership of a particular social group, or political
opinion, is outside the country of their nationality,
and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling
to avail him/herself of the protection of that country.
Refugee was defined as a legal group in response to the
large numbers of people fleeing Eastern Europe following
World War II. The lead international agency coordinating
refugee protection is the Office of the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which counted
8.4 million refugees worldwide at the beginning of 2006.
Refugee law :
Refugee are outside their country
of nationality or habitual residence.
Refugee have a well-founded fear
of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality,
membership in a particular social group or political opinion
and Refugee are unable or unwilling to avail themselves
of the protection of that country, or to return there,
for fear of persecution.
Refugee law encompasses both customary law, peremptory
norms, and international legal instruments.
Refugee camps :
A refugee camp is a place built by governments
or NGOs to receive refugees. People may stay in these
camps, receiving emergency food and medical aid, until
it is safe to return to their homes or until they get
retrieved by other people outside the camps. In some cases,
often after several years, other countries decide it will
never be safe to return these people, and they are resettled
in "third countries," away from the border they
crossed. However, more often than not, refugees are not
resettled. Rather, they are "warehoused"-they
are denied their basic human rights including the right
of movement, employment, and ownership of property.
A volunteer is someone who works for
free serves in a community or for the benefit of natural
environment primarily because he chooses to do so. The
word comes from Latin, and can be translated as will As
in doing something for ones own free will. Many serve
through a non-profit organization – sometimes referred
to as formal volunteering, but a significant number also
serve less formally, either individually or as part of
a group.
By definition, a volunteer worker
does not get paid or receive compensation for services
rendered other than reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.
Many organizations hospitals, food banks, etc. have a
continual need for volunteers. Other high-profile events,
such as a marathon, require hundreds or thousands of volunteers
for a one-time or annual need. The success of such events
has a significant economic impact on the local economy.
Thus, there is increasing awareness of the economic importance
of volunteers.
This, in turn, has elevated the
importance of the volunteer manager for such events, people
who formerly may have managed volunteers in addition to
other duties but now may be viewed as professionals in
the field. This has also increased the need for volunteer
management software, e-mail broadcasts, texting and other
technological tools, allowing the volunteer manager to
register and communicate with large numbers of people
who otherwise have no connection to each other.
