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.

As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates． He also learns to with new life situations, including dates and part-time work． Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment．

I’d had the purse for more than a decade as it was a Christmas present ,which was a bright, red leather, Cheeky Monkey purse ,so probably not entirelyfor a 36-year-old but I was very upset to have lost it!
Everyone I spoke to I might get the purse back but the money and vouchers in it would very likely disappear．I had written off the of the purse and was even considering whether to move on and go “grown-up” when I was seeking a ．
