HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES, BISHKEK ,

The
United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes
volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism can
transform the pace and nature of development and it benefits both society at
large and the individual volunteer. UNV contributes to peace and development by
advocating for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate
volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.
In
most cultures volunteerism is deeply embedded in long-established, ancient
traditions of sharing and support within the communities. In this context, UN
Volunteers take part in various forms of volunteerism and play a role in
development and peace together with co-workers, host agencies and local
communities.
In
all assignments, UN Volunteers promote volunteerism through their action and
conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and positively enrich
their understanding of local and social realities, as well as create a bridge
between themselves and the people in their host community. This will make the
time they spend as UN Volunteers even more rewarding and productive.
