Is it about time for the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Volunteer_Day to get some updates? Maybe this year's upcoming event and the promo video uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? Well, the video, a high resolution version, not the 240p version on Youtube? -- +Rexford <http://google.com/+Nkansahrexford> | Africa Center <http://africacenter.net> | WiR <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedian_in_Residence> | WikiAfrica <http://wikiafrica.net> | User:Nkansahrexford <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nkansahrexford>
