I am a CUSO-VSO volunteer and I have been assigned to the country of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, and also one the poorest countries in the world.
My volunteer work involved providing professional advice to CUSO-VSO partners and local NGOs in Burkina Faso on programs/projects management, participating in development programs with local NGOs and academic institutions, to help build their capacity and relieve poverty in Burkina Faso.
