🇬🇾🇺🇳Today we launch #UNGuyana60, celebrating 60 years of partnership between Guyana and the United Nations. The series will feature people and stories that have shaped six decades of progress.
🎥 @CesarGuedesF reflects on his time working in Guyana in the 1990s.
Glad to be back with the same drive and conviction but with more years of experience promoting UN values
Cesar joined @UNGuyana in 1992. Little did he know that his journey would one day bring him back.
🗓️ 1992: He was as a UN Volunteer with @UNDPGuyana
🗓️ 2010: He joined @UNODC_ROPAN
🗓️ 2025: He stepped out of retirement and returned as a UN Volunteer with @UNVolunteers
👇His story

The UN 🇺🇳 and EU 🇪🇺 strengthening the #partnership and #multilateral approach to #SustaDevelopment in #Guyana. #IVY2026 discussed and the role of @UNVolunteers and @VolunteeringCEV #volunteerism
@JeanKamau led UN 🇬🇾 heads in an annual dialogue with EU Ambassador Luca Pierantoni to discuss joint advocacy, deepened collaboration under the #SDGs, and explored synergies offered through the EU Gateway. A productive exchange reaffirming 🇪🇺🇺🇳partnership.

Not sure why some see UNV only as a pathway into the UN system (1⃣), when we're also a pathway after the UN - with more stories of ex-colleagues volunteering on retirement (2⃣)
1⃣ Pathway into UN spia.princeton.edu/news/care…
2⃣ Pathway after UN guyana.un.org/en/307148-un-v…
Glad to be a part of this fantastic Team working in Guyana 🇬🇾 🇺🇳 altogether delivering as one.

Have you seen the logo of the International Volunteer Year 2026? #IVY2026
If not, don’t panic! Watch this video from our @UNVolunteers team — and remember: worldwide, 2.1 billion working-age people volunteer, including 52 million in Latin America and the Caribbean 🙌

32 years ago, @CesarGuedesF began his UN journey as a UN Volunteer in Guyana.🇬🇾
32 years later, he’s back where it all started: taking on a new UNV role to lead the programme in the Southern Caribbean, bringing experience, energy, and direction.
👏👏🩵
Strengthening volunteerism in the Southern Caribbean—practical example of how UNV engages senior citizens in complex yet rewarding assignments as expert-retiree volunteers: stabroeknews.com/2025/12/16/…
PS. Although what is “senior citizens” today, when 70 is the new 50?
