iVolunteer Overseas (iVO) is a joint initiative of ChangeX and VSO. It is programme that gives qualified and experienced professionals the unique opportunity to work in countries that have a great need for their skills. The remuneration is modest that's why the term used to describe these placements is "volunteering assignments". A volunteering assignment is an incredible avenue for both personal and professional growth. Volunteers get to hone their skills by working in challenging environments while gaining a perspective on life that is outside the reach of those safely ensconced in their conventional careers. The work of our volunteers is often very exhausting, but also fascinating, demanding appropriate professional knowledge, and a large amount of motivation and commitment. You will be surprised of the impact your work will have on hundreds of other people. And on you. Until recently, it was professionals from countries such as the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Uganda and Kenya who volunteered their services. However in recent years volunteering has caught the imagination of professionals from India, Srilanka and Nepal. Since 2005, more than 200 committed and skilled volunteers have been placed through iVO program and have come back with enriched lives and careers. iVO is currently looking for volunteers in the professional areas of non-governmental organisation management, business management, health (doctors, nurses, midwives, health managers), education, microfinance, fundraising and IT training.
