... there is this first blog-post. The same week I got an email with the approval of VSO to go abroad with them. Yay !!!After working in IT for more than 10 years, I came to the conclusion this was the right time to go for change, and try to make a change that matters. VSO bridged the gap between the idea, and the belief of being able to carry it out.So, in the next couple of months I'll go through a 'preparing to volunteer' and 'skills for working in development countries' course, get in contact with my placement advisor to find an suitable position, get a medical clearance, and ... make a million lists of things I need to organize and do.At the moment, I do not have the slightest idea of the actual challenge I'll be facing (a.k.a. 'the project') and where I will end up, but I'll keep you posted.
