Victor has a wealth of information about CUSO-VSO having served 2 terms and worked with CUSO and volunteered on the BC Board. I really enjoyed speaking with him. Victor still works in community planning and sustainability and has worked with many communities in Canada and BC.
I am pleased you and your dad wrote to each other weekly and he got to see Vanuatu.
Vicotor's wife at teh time, Bette Chapal, also served in Vanuatu and established several community run kindergartens.
"CUSO launched my career", as he put it.
Thanks Victor for a great interview and please tell all the other RV's to join us December 4th and 5th ant UBC for the launch of the 50th.
