Umeeda Switlo answers questions about volunteering overseas with Cuso-VSO. I am always impressed to know how many people want to make a difference in the world. I meet people interested in serving who have questions about working with us. At UBC the other day I went with Paul Watts who served with VSO and he described this NGO very well. We are a professional capacity building NGO. Our volunteers are catalysts for change. We link skills with needs. Our volunteers receieve a professional appointment at an in country rate. Thanks Paul!
