Cuso International
Feb 08 2010
Gil Mervyn recently retired as Municipal clerk for the Municipality of Delta in British Columbia. I met with him during International Development week to hear about his experience in Guyana with CUSO.
This is one of those very special interviews where you hear about how a young person really wanted to make a difference and his journey to make that happen. He was 20 years old when he served with CUSO in Guyana.
1969- Taught in Guyana
Later served with CUSO as Country officer supporting volunteers placed in Ghana.
A rich experience.
Gil hopes help CUSO-VSO in our work. I can think of many ways that a person with so many skills can help.
Thanks Gill for a wonderful interview during International Development week.
