Call for professionals to volunteer in tsunami-affected areas

Voluntary Services Overseas has appealed for professionals to volunteer to work in areas affected by the Asian tsunami, which happened this day last year.

The group said there is a need for people to work in management and training roles in the communities devastated by the tidal wave.

It is seeking those with two years work experience to join its teams in Thailand and Sri Lanka.

VSO spokesman Malcolm Quigley said volunteers could look forward to “a very multicultural experience, learning new skills, meeting lots of very interesting people from very different backgrounds”.
