Meet Madina Karsakpayeva, a national UN Volunteer Programme Officer with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kazakhstan. Madina was the first volunteer to serve through the UNDP/UNV Talent Programme for Young Professionals with Disabilities in Central Asia. On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, she shares how volunteering has changed her. 

I joined the UNDP Kazakhstan team in 2020. For me, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities has always been a day closer to sadness, arousing memories of being excluded from society due to my disability. Therefore, when my interview for this UN Volunteer assignment was scheduled close to the day, I felt this was ironic. 

However, I was successful, and since the start of the assignment, my perspective on how the world sees people with disabilities has changed.
