This is my first attempt at a Blog so please have mercy! This is the first of what will become many entries.
I am creating this site to record my adventures through a 6-month volunteer assignment in Solo, Indonesia, starting in February 2009. I am traveling to Indonesia through CUSO-VSO (www.cuso-vso.org).
VSO is an international development agency that works through volunteers. They promote volunteering to fight global poverty, by supporting people to share skills, creativity and learning with communities around the world. Through personal commitment and practical action, volunteers help build a fairer world. CUSO-VSO contributes to VSO's vision, purpose and values by recruiting, training and matching volunteers from North America to placements that meet the requests of their overseas partners.
I have had a wonderful experience with VSO thus far, and encourage anyone with the desire to go abroad to volunteer to visit their website and learn more.

ReplyDeleteBe prepared for many more sarcastic and flippant comments while you sweat and starve half way around the world.

Sounds like you are about to have a wonderful adventure! I wish you all the best and I hope it is life altering and unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck half-a-world away Nardi. Of all of my friends, I'm not the least bit surprised it is you making such a selfless choice. I raise a beer in your honour! (BTW, Sorry I missed the big send off -- we'll have to catch up when you get home and settled in the new condo.)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
