Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is a non-governmental organization which helps and organizes sending volunteers all over the world. It works with various agencies to bring skilled and/or specialized volunteers from different countries to provide skills, training and support to local agencies and organizations. Most of the placements are long term ones. Although they had once had unskilled volunteers, it has already been phased out. This helps gives the organization a more professional outlook. VSO is all about fighting poverty and injustice. They have offices in many developing countries like Tanzania, Ghana, Ethopia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Guyana and many more. They hope to make an impressionable impact on these countries to improve the lives of the people there.
