The Story so far (pt 2)

I twiddled my thumbs for some time and decided to give VSO a ring to see what was happening after their recommended 3 week waiting time had expired and managed to find someone who knew what was happening, they told me I should get contacted in a few days, that time went by and I didn't hear anything so gave them another call, turns out I needed to fill in another form as I was going to do IT so that duly sent I got my Assessment day invite on the 21st of December.

I spent the Christmas break (OK I don't really get one of those.. but ...) reading up on VSO, reading blogs of other VSO volunteers, and talking to a number of returned volunteers about their experiences!

Mainly positive stories, other than someone who knew a guy who went for a swim in the sea on his first day in country and slipped and broke his neck... and got hospitalised, ( I think he was OK in the end though).
