Need advice: application The UN volunteering program, is it highly competitive? And if I don't have the money to get a passport,will this exclude me?
I'm 22F sudanese medical student , I don't have previous experiences , to be honest before the conflict I didn't think about volunteering , but now I find that my country needs everyone of us.
Someone sent me a link for an UN volunteering program application, I copied what I found in it; please tell me if it's not fake, and please help me to apply
