Most of the time, @UNVolunteers get the job done and move on.
Sometimes, they stay on at the UN.
And yet sometimes—they marry each other.
That’s what happened with @JulieTeng and @SimonNazer. I met these wonderful colleagues in Laos and discovered an amazing story.
Hear from them:
❤️ What does it mean when one UNV marries another?
⁉️ And what happens when things get a little tense?
