Volunteering across continents

Through service and cultural exchange, a young volunteer brings hope to Bolivia and finds strength in self-growth.

In late March, 22-year-old Wu Miao concluded her volunteer service with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) in Bolivia, a Spanish-speaking country in South America.

As a student of economic statistics at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, Hubei province, Wu vividly recalls coming across the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) recruitment notice in May 2024.Without hesitation, she applied.

"I've always been passionate about volunteering and want to make a positive impact," she explained.
