In the foreword to Humanity, Represented, UNV Executive Coordinator Toily Kurbanov writes:Open this book at any page and you’ll meet someone from a different corner of the world. A volunteer from Nepal. A volunteer from Colombia. A volunteer from Niger, Ethiopia, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan, or Yemen. Different languages. Different histories and flags. Different life stories. Yet they all made the same choice: to serve.

For Francesca, the winding road showed much of what she had learned about service. You do not always know the way. You cannot assume you have all the answers. Sometimes, the only way forward is to listen to the people who know the area.Francesca came to Lesotho from Italy as a UN Volunteer Social Policy Officer with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). She had worked in a country office before, but she wanted to move closer to the work in the field.
