Hi! My name is Abby. I have been invited to serve in Togo as a volunteer in natural resource management. I am looking for any advice that would help prepare me for this experience. You can email me at snyder.abi@gmail.com Hope to hear from someone soon! |

forget Africa. lost cause. read Paul Theroux's Dark Star Safari which speaks the truth. NGO's have been wasting precious time and money in Africa for decades and look at it now. Still corrupt regimes, famines, murders, pirates, wars, refugees. Volunteer where you will reap the rewards: Eastern Europe, some Pacific Island Groups, South America, Some SE Asia countries and NOT China. |

Abby, there is a book written 25 years ago by a Volunteer who served in Togo. The title is: The Village of Waiting by George Packer. A more recent book about Cote d' Ivoire, or Ivory Coast, which is a country close to Togo, written by a Volunteer, Sarah Erdman, is Nine Hills to Nambonkaha. |
