January 2010

UK Volunteers - Co-ordinator Kate Jeffery recently trained a group of new UK volunteers from Cambridge in how to deliver workshops on responsible volunteering and global citizenship. The group has now secured future workshops with Engineers without Borders, a Cambridge School's International Development Day, and a Conflict Resolution Course in London.

 

Returned Volunteers De-brief- Last weekend Development in Action held its January Committee Meeting and a de-brief for the returned Summer Volunteers. The de-brief was a big success and gave the volunteers a chance to give the Committee feedback on their time in India.

 

IVC back in India - Also this month, IVC Emma has flown back to India to see the current 5-month volunteers through their placements. Whilst in India she will be visiting potential new placements for 2011.
