With the intention of doing something useful with my life, I've been exploring the idea of applying to spend a year or so doing VSO. I'm closing in on a decision though obviously there are a lot of factors to consider, including relationship (supportive), family (resigned to me), finance (I'm sure it'll all work out fine) and work (yet to be consulted, but I fancy a change...).
Anyone got any experience of it, or opinions as to whether it actually makes any difference? My feelings are that it does, as it focuses on building local capacity in core infrastructure/services rather than dispensing bounty, but I may have missed something.
All input appreciated.
