My story

 

I’m doing a Professional Volunteer Placement for a International Development Organisation in Bangladesh called BRAC (Building Resources Across Communities). The volunteer programme is organised by BRAC UK (a registered UK charity – www.bracuk.net) in association with VSO & DFID (UK Dept for International Development).

 

BRAC was founded in the aftermath of Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971 and has since grown to be the largest Southern NGO in the world with its range of holistic programmes in economic and social development, health, education, and human rights and legal services.  It is a highly regarded and effective organisation, and currently operates in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Southern Sudan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, UK  and USA.

 

I will be doing a 3 week placement with  BRAC in Bangladesh, with the trip part funded by DFID. However, I am required to raise funds through sponsorship to cover part of the costs, so please support me.  For more information on BRAC and the work they do , please follow these links.
