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.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I the same things thousand and one times, do not me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking (嘲弄) smile. I taught you to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life….When at some moment I lose the memory or the of conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I can not do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well I need to and when not. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your , the same way I did when you gave your first . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to any more — that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, my mistakes, I always wanted the thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent (无奈) for seeing me you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
