When I was a college student, I did a lot of travelling abroad. That was because a professor50me to do so. She said,“Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 51 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I agreed with her.

Since I started to work for a52company, however, I have done most of my travellling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the sights of many cities on my computer screen.

Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were55necessary when I happened to read a famous chef’s comment on the Internet. He said,“It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the atmosphere around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian56?” Those words reminded me of my57advice. As information technology58,you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various59you can get from travelling.

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.
