From April the 14th to the 21st, 62 activities were organized. As many as 30 parliamentarians, ministers, councilors, mayors and other public servants set their communities own examples of social responsibility. According to the organizers, many of the public persons offer sustainability to the activities they participated in, remaining “connected” to the cases they approached. Only one public servant showed dissatisfaction as to acting as a volunteer, because the event got too little coverage, but the Coalition avoids to release his or her name. 19 non-governmental organizations and 6 public entities participated in the 2008 volunteer week, providing 230 hours of volunteer work.
