They called us when the protesting and road blocks started and asked us to go on "Stand fast" status, which means we weren't permited to travel anywhere outside of work and home, and when the riots in Bishkek began, the entire country went to "consolidation" where all the volunteers in each region gathered together at one location, and asked to stay there until further notice.
