Why a
Recruitment Day?
Esperanto has survived for over 130 years the same way it started: one person teaching another. No government funds it. No corporation markets it. It grows because people share it. Varbado-Tago makes that sharing collective: one coordinated day, worldwide, when every Esperantist becomes a recruiter.
