Ankara， Turkey： I come from Moldova and I am now working as a UN Volunteer with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Turkey. I have been living in Turkey for a few years and have had the to observe the approach of the Turkish people towards . In Turkey people help each other with their hearts and from their hearts on a continuous basis.
Young people are the main driving engine behind the ever-growing volunteer force in Turkey. For Turkish people it is common to be part of some kind of organization or student club on a volunteer basis， doing various activities such as exchanges， environmental action， charity work and peer education.
This trend(倾向) grew in the late 1990s， despite the fact that civil society organizations have sometimes been viewed with disbelief by some state authorities.
This has in the last decade， and many young people now choose to get involved and use their spare time to develop their skills， while also showing their civic participation by to a cause.
Perhaps this is the reason why the core of the UNV community at UNHCR Turkey is young people. Being a UN Volunteer with UNCHR allows us to gain the skills needed to realize our social and human development potential， but also to dedicate our time， energy and ideas to contribute to the of UNHCR’s global strategic aims.
Being a UN Volunteer with UNHCR is an opportunity to make other people’s lives better. Working on refugee status determination has been an interesting and learning experience. Part of the task involves carrying out extensive research on the situation and the condition of the countries the refugees(难民) come from.
Especially according to recent events in neighboring countries， and given the arrival of refugees and the increased time necessary to process the number of applications for shelter， the contribution of UN Volunteers to UNHCR seems necessary and the impact invaluable.
I also believe that I have brought cultural diversity(多元性) to an already diverse ， where true professionals and young graduates from different nations work hard side by side to refugees and find durable solutions for them.

Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn’t live a normal life, she was still happy.
When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew . She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten, she had to live in a in Virginia.
