Hi my name is Momoh Aruna Jimmy, I am a Sierra Leonean with a professional background in Environment and Development. I hold an undergraduate Bachelor of Science with Honours degree in Environmental Science, Environment and Development Option and a postgraduate Masters Degree in Development Studies from the University of Sierra Leone; both completed in 1998 and 2001 respectively.

My work experience has revolved around teaching and programme work with Non Governmental Organizations from the period after my first graduation (1998) until I joined the UNV Programme in 2005 as a Programme Officer.

During my professional experience as a UNV Programme Officer, I have co-ordinated National Volunteer Schemes, facilitated the recruitment of essentials skills such as Medical Doctors to provide essential health care services and also participated in community volunteer initiatives….an experience that has positively enriched my understanding of local and social realities in the countries I have worked in.

To date, as a UNV Programme Officer in Lesotho, working towards mainstreaming the values of volunteerism into UN programmes and projects, I have increasingly realized that Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development through local participation!!!

My name is Ntsieli Tlahali and I’m a national of Lesotho. I have been working with UNV at UNDP Lesotho since August 2003. Previously I was with UNDP Lesotho in the Finance Unit. Within the framework of assisting the UNV unit in administration and operational issues, my main duties focus on recruitment, orientation at duty station and end of assignment for UNV Volunteers.

Specific activities include welcoming Volunteers to the CO, assisting them in settling in, paying their entitlements including their monthly allowances and preparing for their repatriation at the end of their assignment.
 

The work, although challenging, I find it very rewarding.

Steve O’Dwyer I am a UN Volunteer working on Sustainable Land Management (SLM) as part of the UNDP’s Energy and Environment Unit. This work is intended to improve land productivity, provide essential ecosystem services and to increase the resilience of peoples’ livelihoods to climate shocks. At the day-to-day level, I am working closely with partners in the Ministry of Forestry and Land Reclamation to distill national and international best practice into a useable SLM model for Lesotho. I am a graduate of the MA programme in International Relations at Dublin City University. My earlier background is in technology and engineering, having studied for a BE in engineering and worked as a programmer for a financial institution between 2002-2005.

My name is Fiona Coyle and I am a UNV intern within the HIV/AIDS unit of the UNDP with specific responsibility for the management and supervision of the Community Leadership and Capacity Enhancement (CLCE) Project. Originally, I hail from the North West coast of Ireland where I trained as a Community Development worker with a BA in Public and Social policy, and a MA in the area of Community Development. My professional experience, so far, has ranged from working with on the ground projects, community organizations, government bodies to international NGO’s in both the developed and developing countries. I find the people of Lesotho to be very welcoming and I receive great enjoyment from the rugged landscape and the Basotho way of life.

Hi! This is Fulu Koali; the Lesotho National man. I hold first degree in BSc. Agric. Economics and I currently work as National United Nations Volunteer (NUNV) Specialist. I am assigned in the National Volunteer Corp Project under the Ministry of Gender and Youth, Sports and Recreation with UNDP as a key partner. I love the work because it’s challenging and I learn much daily. Prior, I was a research assistant of one Lecturer at the National University of Lesotho (NUL). I am very passionate and proud of my country Lesotho; being the country in which all people in it lives with peace and harmony.

Hi my name is Giulia Pelosi and I am a UNV for the Consolidation of Democracy and Good Governance Programme (CDGG). I work with the Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and Correctional Services in strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights in Lesotho. I have completed a Bachelor Degree in Law and an LL.M in Public International Law and Human Rights. I have worked as a human rights researcher in NGOs  and volunteered in Italy for several years. Due to my passion in this area, I am enthusiastic to contribute to the improvement of a culture of respect for human rights in Lesotho.
