Voluntary Service Overseas （VSC） is a registered charity dedicated to assisting development in the world's poor countries. It is an independent non-sectarian organization. VSO is a direct response to an urgent need. Each year about 450 volunteers are sent to work on projects in 36 developing countries. Each volunteer goes overseas in response to a specific appeal from a developing country Over the past 23 years more than 20,000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. Together they have contributed over 30,000 man-years to development. But VSO volunteers gain as well as give. They gain responsibility, experience and a personal viewpoint on development. On their return they can make an effective contribution to the development debate. Above all, VSO is said that the Third World needs. For this reason the Third World countries themselves pay almost half the cost of each VSO volunteer. When VSO was established over 20 years ago, the first volunteers were school-leavers, However, increasingly the demand was for skilled and professional people. Today., all VSO volunteers are skilled and/or qualified people--teachers and doctors, mechanics an electricians, accountants and civil engineers. Why do they volunteer?
