Story

Hi, my name is Ollie, and thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page. Seeing as you're here, I'd like to take a moment to explain to you why it is I have volunteered with the Voluntary Service Oversea's International Citizen Service programme (VSO ICS) and encourage you to give as generously as you can to help us solve some of the terrible issues afflicting the developing world.

No one can underestimate the importance an organisation such as VSO and its subsidary branch ICS has on the world. Backed by the Government and run by volunteers with a clear moral guide and strong convictions, VSO contributes to countless projects all across the globe, dedicated to helping communities struggling with any number of issues, ranging from medical aspects such as ensuring all have access to better health care and continuing the fight against HIV/AIDS , helping to build local economies and promote businesses and training to give people the chance to build the kind of life they deserve , to improving education and seeing to it no child is bereft of access to knowledge and learning. 

It is the responsilbity of the volunteers to go out into the world and help resolve these problems, working in partnership with local communities and governments as well as other ogranisations both here in the UK and throughout the world. The costs of sending these volunteers out to these projects, as well as supporting them while they are working, is managed by government sponsorship, therefore any funds and donations raised goes towards contributing to these issues directly, which we all agree must be resolved. 

Anything you can give for this worthwhile cause will be of monumental help. It is only through the kindness and generosity of these contributions that we will have a chance of righting the world's many wrongs.
