Description:
Opportunity to Volunteer abroad with VSO
******************************************************
Starting 2004 Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO), a UK based charity
will start recruiting VSO volunteers from India to work in other
developing countries in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. VSO will
recruit volunteers through a program called "iVolunteer Overseas
(www.ivoindia.org)" which is a joint initiative with MITRA, a non-
profit charity based in India. A typical VSO volunteering assignment
last for 2 years and the volunteers are provided with Travel
Assistance, Grants, Training support and a modest monthly allowance
during the period of their placements. VSO volunteers working in
Information and Communications Technology strengthen the ability of
schools, non-governmental organizations and VSO program offices to
conduct their work. The role of an ICT volunteer can vary greatly
from placement to placement. Typically, placements involve teaching
and/or training colleagues in a secondary or vocational school
setting or could involve IT specialist roles such as network
maintainance, programmers, website and database design or volunteer
may be asked to review and introduce new software/hardware. VSO is
also recruiting volunteers in the area of Microfinance, Fundraising
and NGO Management. The last date to apply for September 2004
departures is 23rd January 2004
