I'm Flora, and I'm in Burkina Faso from Jan-June 2018. Here I hope to give a helping hand to the wonderful organisations I am working with. I also hope to learn about and from the Burkinabe culture.
I'm with the International Citizens Service Programme (ICS) - and am with the charity International Service. International Service empowers women, children and young people, and people with disabilities to access their rights in developing countries across the world. We offer volunteer placements overseas and work in areas such as female empowerment, disability rights and child poverty. I am leading a team of volunteers working with the Association Kabeela. Kabeela is a women's organisation based in Guilongou, Ziniare, Burkina Faso. Their focus is on promoting an equal world through the empowerment of women in work, health and education. |
