A day with Mr Nigel Mills, our guest from the UK
Today
was one of the most rewarding and successful days for our team and for VSO so
far. Along with other VSO volunteers and staff, we met with Nigel Mills, a
British Member of Parliament who, as well as being a member of the ruing
coalition, is himself a VSO volunteer.
During
a relaxed and informal meeting, we discussed our future plans for a “Silk Road”
festival, and also Mr Mills’ experience of Tajikistan, which he has found very
friendly and hospitable. With his experience in working internationally and in
the business sector, Mr Mills offered very valuable advice on our planning for
the festival. We noted that despite his position and status, he was very modest
and open, and was always ready to speak to anyone, language barrier or not!
The British volunteers shared their feelings on the London Olympics as did Mr Mills.
