Details of my VSO volunteering experience in Zambia.
About Me
ABOUT MY BLOG......
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read my blog ...
I am fortunate in working work for Welsh Assembly Government who have a 'Wales for Africa' program as part of their commitment to helping to achieve the UN Millennium Goals. Through this program I am going Zambia as a volunteer with VSO (Voluntary Services Overseas).
I set off in February 2010 for two months working as a Funding Advisor in Chipata, Zambia for a non-governmental organisation called Youth Development Foundation (YDF). I'll be assisting YDF with fundraising proposals, setting up donor maps and fundraising systems. My role will be supporting a YDF project called 'Taking Power' which works with young people on issues such as HIV/Aids awareness along with giving them skills on and a platform for taking action on Gender and Human Rights issues that affect them directly .
I feel privileged to be able to work with this organisation, albeit for a short time.
I am slightly apprehensive about the task ahead - I'm sure though, that the two months that I am there will fly by and will bring me huge amounts of enjoyment and not a little hard work.
Whatever happens, I hope to share it with you through this blog.
Please feel free to post me messages!

Hi Tina, spending a long weekend in Scotland with F1, having a great time, surely better than Luangwa National Park! Snow and sunshine here!All HAAD trucks arrived safely in Kosovo, but I think they're missing us. Not long till your majestic return - are you counting the days? Or hopefully are you staying on there, as I have prayed for....?! Johnnie xx
