“My experience as a UNV has helped me immensely with my personal and professional development. I believe I have become more aware of the rights of women, children, and vulnerable groups of society. Working for the Rohingya Response, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has made me much more grounded and self-aware.” Samia Aboni, a UN Volunteer working in WASH at UNICEF Cox’s Bazaar Office, shares her experience with Volunteerism during the COVID-19 pandemic
