"Being a UN Volunteer is about embracing the community"
Jason William Gbambi is a national UN Volunteer Outreach Officer serving with UNMISS. In the below interview, this committed South Sudanese tells us why volunteerism motivates him. He also elaborates on why he believes that his work in the mission’s Conduct & Discipline Section truly honours the values that the United Nations stands for across the world.
Can you share the highlights of your assignment as a UN Volunteer and a bit about what you do every day?
I have been a Community Outreach Officer with UNMISS for the past three years. I constantly interact with local communities, women’s groups, youth representatives, students, traditional leaders, faith-based organizations and government stakeholders across South Sudan to educate them on the core values the mission stands for.
