Students Without Borders – Volunteer opportunities!

The following comes to us from WUSC.ca:

We would like to invite you and your members to apply to our overseas volunteer opportunities through Students Without Borders and gain first-hand experience in developing countries.

We have some wonderful opportunities for volunteer placements in Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, Niger, Peru and Vietnam and we also provide travel bursaries to offset students’ costs for summer 2008 volunteer placements in Burkina Faso (up to $2,500), Ghana (up to $2,000), Niger (up to $3,000), Peru (up to $1,500) and Vietnam (up to $2,500). Please visit the WUSC website for more details on placement descriptions. You will notice that the deadline to apply was February 8th. However, we are accepting applicants until all placements are filled.

Kindly share this information with any students who are interested in or may benefit from such an opportunity and please be advised that local committee members have the privilege of having priority over regular applicants.

Please feel free to e-mail us at swb@wusc.ca if you have any questions or concerns.
