To mark National Volunteering Week, Volunteer Ireland has released a video featuring volunteers from Ukraine, Somalia, and Zimbabwe, making a difference in their new communities around Ireland.
This year, a new video is highlighting the story of sisters Alina and Ilona from Ukraine who is living in Belturbet.
Alina and her sister Ilona have been giving back to their new community in Cavan by volunteering in local nursing homes, performing concerts for the residents.
The video highlights the contributions of displaced individuals in Ireland and celebrates the impact they make in our communities.
Alina and IIona have been speaking to our reporter Ronan Gargan about how volunteering has helped both of them.
The sisters have been telling Ronan how they have found Irish people so kind.
