Please note the definition that includes reference to specific law acts (Voluntary Social Services Organization Act, No. 31 of 1980, and Voluntary Social Services Organization Act, No. 8 of 1998) will not be included due to the stated guidelines of omitting references to specific values (numbers in word or text form such as twelve or 12), as well as mentions of appendixes and schedules in the definitions.
