Just wondering if anybody has any experience of doing the VSO (Voluntary service overseas) in Africa? Two teacher friends of mine in their early thirties are thinking of doing it. Questions they have are: How good was it? What are the conditions like? Where is the best country to do it? Do you have to sign a 12 month contract - could you just do it for 9 months?
