Teclaire Same Moukoudi: "Being a UN Volunteer gives me a chance to improve the lives of those in need"
Identification and compassion are powerful forces and sources of motivation. Just ask Teclaire Same Moukoudi, a Cameroonian UN Volunteer serving as a Civil Affairs Officer with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS.
"Coming from an underprivileged background myself, I have always been passionate about helping communities like the one I grew up in when it comes to promoting local development and respect for human rights. Being a UN Volunteer has given me an opportunity to do so, and in a multicultural context to boot," the experienced advocate and community mobilizer says.
