I am honored to announce The Pioneer Volunteer of the Year for 2026, Athanas Alphonce ! 🏆 I met Athanas 15 years ago, when I was volunteering in Tanzania and we worked on the same construction projects together (building foundations for two schools and one for a home for a family). Athanas is based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and is the founder of the NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) Star of Hope Family Organization. He has pioneered many projects to benefit the children and people of his community. One such project is the Let the Child Smile Project, which helps children with HIV obtain health insurance, to meet their health needs. Athanas has been a leader in his community and faithful servant of God in serving and connecting with people across the globe. In winning this award, Athanas has received $500 towards his projects, along with The Pioneer Volunteer shirt, drawstring bag, and personalized plaque. Thank you, Athanas, for all that you do!

The Community Baby Shower was 100% inspired by who held a community baby shower while she was the
I did not know her, and I did not know what a community baby shower was, but I was SO inspired by what she was doing in the community and I dreamed that one day I could do the same and try to further the ripple effect of kindness towards the village of Mothers in need. So, thank you, for what you have done for the community and what you continue to do!!! May God bless you and your work!!! 🙏🏻

A HUGE THANK YOU to Elaine from !!! Over the last month, Elaine worked with me almost every single day and most days spoke with me multiple times. It was because of that we had a venue and a date and they connected us with most of the families who attended. When I was ill and could not drive around collecting items, Elaine and her team collected 3 jeep loads of donated items!!! On the set up day and the day of the event, she was there EVERY. SINGLE. HOUR. From the time we were allowed in until we left!!! She believed in me and my crazy dream and she gave me the freedom to pursue it, while still making sure to ask the questions of everything I had missed or forgotten about. Elaine, you are a guardian Angel on Earth!!! 🙏🏻

The Family was SO tremendously supportive with the Community Baby Shower! I shared my dream of the Community Baby Shower with maybe a year ago and she helped me brainstorm, helped me look for venues, became our first speaker for the event, connected me with a content creator, and helped set up and break down the event! Her husband helped load the UHaul, DROVE IT to the venue, then helped unload and drove it back! Her children , , Kynlee, and Zoe ALL helped with set up and clean up and I could not be more appreciative of everything they did for this event! I don’t know what we would have done without them!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Raychelle is also founder of and she certainly helped us clean up this event! 🙌🏻
