Nigel Mills Meeting


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.
