Hi to all,

I had worked in Doha Challenge 2011 and also in Arab games 2011 as a paid volunteer,but after more 20 daysof the end of the games I have still not recieved money nither they had called me after the games finished,before the start of the games there were many meetings held and they used to call me and send me sms for the meetings and events,after the games completed successfully they assured us to do our settlements within a week but still waiting,I asked some of the officials responsible for the games whom I know,now they are not listening and just give one answer it is under process....Is there any one from the workforce who is expriencing the same

Yeah you are not a volunteer you are a hooker! A person who volunteers their services to an individual or organization that is willing to PAY...oh wait isn't that what we employees do as well?

Volunteers are never paid. You must have been a paid staff.

Do not degrade a volunteer activity by demanding salary.
