IT volunteering
I’ve been away the last couple of weeks – hence the lack of blog postings recently, so I’ll try and make up for it this week!
The new intake of volunteers arrived a couple of weeks ago, so at the end of their training we had another IT volunteers workshop. Returning to the Red Cross training centre for the first time since I arrived in Ethiopia felt a little strange, but also made me realise how long I’ve been here for now (coming up to 6 months), even though it only feels like 5 minutes!
The number of current IT volunteers outnumbered the number of new IT volunteers 9 to 3. There were 8 IT placements available in Ethiopia for the February intake, only 5 of which got filled, then only 3 new people actually arrived. So there’s plenty of opportunities available if anyone feels like taking some time out from their normal jobs!
