2026 has been declared by the United Nations as International Year of the Volunteer for Sustainable Development. You might recall that I was a CUSO International volunteer in Nigeria in the early 70’s and a Field Staff Officer for them in Ghana in the mid-70s. Volunteering and volunteers are great!
In Bangladesh, our ILO project used Australian volunteers, while later in Malawi, our UNESCO project benefited from getting national (Malawian) UN Volunteers.
And just this summer, I did volunteer work with Catalyste+ in Dominica.
Today, I got information on the latest CUSO newsletter. It’s an interesting read.
To see the newsletter, try this link.
Pleasant reading.
