| Introduction | In April 2013, I will be leaving Wales to spend three months volunteering in Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa. I am volunteering through the International Citizen Service (ICS), which is funded by the Department for International Development (DFID). I will be volunteering with the international development charity, International Service (IS), whose vision ‘is a fairer world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and fulfil their potential.’ They are an international development charity which protects and promotes the rights of the most marginalised people in Latin America, West Africa and the Middle East. This is usually women, disabled people, children and young people, and people living with HIV/Aids. I will be working with four UK volunteers and two national volunteers at the charity Kabeela in Ziniaire, which aims to improve the quality of life of women and reduce poverty. |
