Corporate volunteering has
exploded across Brazil in less than a decade of strategic national and
local effort. Now, distinctively Brazilian models have begun to emerge,
marrying global best practices with the realities of Brazilian
communities.
“Isto dá Samba: Corporate Volunteerism
the Brazilian Way” does three things very well. First, it
describes the social, political, and historic context for corporate
volunteering in Brazil. Second, it tells the stories of what companies
are doing and how they are doing it. Third, it lays out the direct,
no-nonsense approach that has been used successfully to develop
volunteering in companies throughout Brazil.
This book offers insights of critical importance
for every multinational company doing business in Brazil. It will be of
interest to everyone seeking a world view of corporate community
involvement.

No region of the world has
received as much attention in the last five years as the Arab World.
But virtually nothing has been written about the work of volunteers
from those nations and their role in building civil society.
Al-Tatawae helps us understand the
social, religious, and cultural forces shaping volunteering in the Arab
World. It is a seminal study, combining quantitative and qualitative
research to paint a fascinating picture of a part of the volunteer
community unknown to most of us.
“This book attempts to comprehend and inventory
the features of volunteers in the Arab World, focusing on three Arab
Nations – Egypt, Jordan and Palestine. This work focuses on "the
volunteering individual" who constitutes the backbone of the voluntary
sector.”
- Dr. Amani Kandil,
Executive Director, Arab Network for NGOs
