Empowered by Training – My Experience with UNODC Herat

During my collaboration with the KOR project under the UNODC office in Herat, I had the valuable opportunity to participate in several professional training sessions. These courses, organized under the direct supervision of the office leadership, played a significant role in enhancing both individual and team capabilities. One of the most important of these sessions was held at the official UNODC office in Herat, under the direction of Mr. Soltani, the Head of Office.

These training programs were designed using modern methods, up-to-date academic content, interactive workshops, and the presence of experienced trainers and instructors. The topics covered included how to engage with individuals affected by addiction, prevention strategies, counseling principles, psychological support, teamwork, and crisis situation analysis.

Beyond the educational content, these sessions offered a valuable chance to interact and connect with colleagues from other departments of the project. Sharing experiences, learning about parallel activities in different areas, and building professional relationships were among the key advantages—strengthening not only our knowledge but also our motivation and confidence in fulfilling our responsibilities.

This experience remains one of the highlights of my career, and the lessons I learned continue to influence both my professional path and personal growth.

In Gratitude – To Those Who Trained and Protected Us

During our time in the UNODC project, we had the honor of being guided by remarkable individuals—mentors who not only trained us with professionalism and empathy, but also stood beside us during difficult times.

Mr. Soltani and dr mossarat, the project director in Herat, and the two dedicated trainers helped shape our knowledge, teamwork, and confidence through structured sessions and real-world practice.

Today, they have been safely relocated to other countries—away from the threats we still face. Their departure is a reminder of both the strength they shared and the fragility of our own safety.

We carry their lessons with pride, hoping for the day we too can live and serve freely in a safe place.
