VSO are paying for the whole project – from training and preparations in the UK, to getting us there and our living expenses while there. It’s obviously a very expensive thing – apparently it costs VSO up to £20,000 per volunteer. There are no actual costs to the volunteer, but we have been asked to raise £900 each as a contribution to support VSO’s ongoing work to support future volunteers like us. All money raised will go directly to VSO to help their work – of which our project is only one small example… For more information about how VSO uses your donations please look here …
