1.Each year, volunteers from Great Britain work abroad: teachers, nurses, engineers, and people with special skills. They do not go for money. Volunteers from Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) receive the same pay as a local colleague.
VSO first started in 1958 when 14 young school leavers went away for a year. Only three years later there were 176 volunteers in 25 different countries, and ten years later there were 15,000 volunteers. At first almost everybody was young, and without very much experience. But in early sixty VSO reduced the number of young people, and older and older, experienced people with different skills went abroad.
Now, more than 20,000 people from Britain have worked abroad as volunteers, some young, others old, some highly skilled men and women. Abroad, they live simply, with the people of the country, and they return to Britain with greatest understanding of other people in other parts of the world.
