Voices of Volunteers
The Flying Penguin is our regular newsletter containing stories from returned volunteers, updates from the IVP office and committee, a round-up of peace-related activities and events from around the world, and discussion and opinion articles on a range of topics connected with the achievement of a peaceful global society. In past issues we have discussed what makes a successful workcamp, the challenges of volunteering in confl ict areas, and taking practical steps towards achieving the aims of the Service Civil International movement of being catalysts for change in a violent, inequitable world.
Your Contributions
We always need your news. As a member maybe you have been involved in some local actions promoting peace. As a volunteer you certainly have a unique story to tell of your experiences and personal path as a positive force against injustice, discrimination, isolation, environmental degradation or conflict. Please send us your stories (up to about 750 words) and photos – admin@ivp.org.au.
And please give us your feedback about the newsletter – what you enjoy reading, what you would like to see more of, etc.

Today IVP #volunteers distributed more than 100 plants in Penrose Community Hall and Wingello Village Store as part of our #bushfirerecovery action. The locals were so welcoming and grateful and shared their personal stories about the devastating fires. Today also marks the date of #EarthOvershootDay 🌱🌳 when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year, exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year. IVP continues to strive for #localactionsglobalchange 🌏 and invites people interested to join in these efforts. Contact us and be part of this change! 🤗✌️🆕
