 About VSO - Diary of a Volunteer - www.snash.org
The VSO volunteer handbook tries to give the prospective volunteer an indication as to what volunteering will be like.
As much as you hear the words of VSO and the return volunteers - 'it was a rewarding experience, but it had its difficulties...' - they don't sink in properly until you actually have the experience yourself (and sometimes return volunteers can be guilty of glossing over any negative experiences they have had).
This section, therefore, is about correlating VSO's cautionary words with some of the challenging times I experienced.

 Cross-Cultural Solutions or VSO?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
VSO volunteers must be qualified and experienced professionals, each recruited into a specific “volunteer job”; therefore, it may be difficult to place couples.
Both CCS and VSO are independent, not-for-profit organizations that have many years of experience in operating highly successful international volunteer programs.
For those who are interested in VSO, but hesitant to commit two or more years, or need to further develop their skills and experience, a CCS program is an excellent way to get a taste of what international volunteering is all about.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | TEFL | VSO renews commitment to English in China
Although the number of VSO volunteers working in ELT throughout the world has fallen from 420 to 390 since 1999, Goldring denied that this was a result of a policy to downgrade ELT.
However, VSO's strategy in China reflects the delicate balance that aid organisations need to strike when evaluating the contribution English language education makes to the poorest communities and how much of their limited budgets should be directed towards it.
In countries where English is the medium of education VSO's role is straightforward: to work with the poorest to ensure that they get access to education, but elsewhere, as in China, Goldring admits that evaluating ELT is more complex.

When you think of the voluntary nature of our being here, to perpetuate a kind of slave labour is very difficult to handle.
As yet Rachel and I are still undecided but will probably employ someone to clean clothes / iron on a part-time basis, as well as a part-time gardener and full-time night-guard (VSO recommends a guard and pays the bill).
Secondly, and on a lighter note (!), AIDS is very prevalent in Malawi (the worst incidence in Africa) and it is something everyone is concerned about (conservative estimates say 20% are infected with HIV).
