Source text - French En rejoignant le programme VNU en 1998 après avoir sillonné les grands espaces du Caucase, parcouru les collines de l'Hindou Kouch et m'être trouvé dans bien des points chauds d'Afrique, qu'allait être l'aventure ? Sans doute trépidante à en croire les récits étonnants de VNU en Iraq, au Cambodge et dans la région des Grands Lacs en Afrique. Le plus frappant était que toutes ces histoires révélaient une force bien réelle pourtant ignorée des gros titres à la une des journaux à l'époque. Peut-on oublier le visage du jeune VNU Ghanéen rencontré à Kaboul en Afghanistan ? Son récit ne faisait que confirmer l’identité et la force des histoires propres aux Volontaires des Nations Unies qu'un lien commun reliait : le désir d’aventure et la conviction qu’en contribuant leurs compétences et leur énergie, ils pouvaient faire une différence. Kumordzi en était persuadé et sa contribution a laissé sa marque à Kaboul.
Translation - English Rejoining the UNV program in 1998 after crisscrossing the wide open spaces of the Caucasus, striding over the hills of Hindu Kush, and finding myself in many of the hot spots in Africa, what was the adventure going to be like ? If the surprising accounts of the UNV in Iraq, Cambodia, and the Great Lakes region of Africa were to be believed , it would undoubtedly be exciting. What was most striking was that all these stories revealed a very real force which was somehow not mentioned in the front page headlines at that time. How could you forget the face of the young Ghanaian UNV encountered in Kabul in Afghanistan ? His account only confirmed the nature and force of the stories characteristic of the UNV which one common thread connected : the desire for adventure and the conviction that by contributing their skills and energy, they could make a difference. Kumordzi was convinced of it and his contribution has left its mark on Kabul.
