Urvashi Bundel is from India and serves as an international UN Volunteer Associate Refugee Status Determination Officer with UNCHR in Somalia. Through her volunteering, Urvashi has experienced a lot, she says, something that people get to encounter much later, she has, at quite a young age. She tells her volunteering story.
With nearly ten years in the United Nations system and some eight years working directly with vulnerable refugee and asylum-seeking populations, I value my service to UNHCR's international protection mandate.
UNHCR in Somalia works with government and stakeholders to provide humanitarian assistance, and advance peace and development in priority areas of return and reintegration.
