First Training Over

Just returned from Harbourne Hall, Birmingham where I have completed the first of my training sessions before disembarking. Preparing 2 Volunteer is a 3 day course which lasts all day (9am till 8pm) and covers absolutely loads. From the history of the IMF and globalisation to why I want to volunteer and how I can be an effective volunteer. Very interesting, thought-provoking and challenging but my interest, enthusiasm and commitment is still there.

In a fortnight - SKWID - Skills working in development. 5 days! 9 till 9.

Moving House

Hurray, I have been accepted by VSO and am currently in the process of packing up my house, filling out multiple forms and working out where all of my rubbish is going to go.

Hello

Hello everyone to my first blog. Something I said I would never do. Writing and phoning people has never been my strong point. What is.. I hear you say. Well here goes. It may be the only entry ever posted here or it may just be a list of the scary, daunting experiences I may be about to uncover.
