Asked to Assessment Day

I've been asked for an assessment day by VSO. Not sure when I will be able to go. I'll have to try and get one in the Easter Holidays.

Application submitted

I've just submitted my application for VSO on-line!

VSO Open Day

Went to VSO Education Open Day in Putney, London. Met some interesting people. One guy gave a talk about volunteering in Ethiopia. He lived in a small concrete-block house, but it did have electricity and even a phone-line. He'd taken his laptop for music/DVDs etc.

One worrying thing... he had a guard (with a spear!) who lived in a room attached to his house.

Another woman had been to Maldives... the place looks beautiful. I'd like to be on a remote island. Her Maldivian counterpart was with her today. He's come to England for a visit.

It's the total lunar eclipse tonight.
