Volunteering overseas
Right now, VSO has 1500 volunteers working in in 34 countries, helping tackle the root of the causes of poverty.
That’s what they do. VSO send volunteers rather than money. Money is vital for improving living conditions but their volunteers get to see how valuable funds are spent, and play a part in making that money work.
