The talk programme was held in one the
regular meetings of Rotary Club of Patan South on 26th April 2011 and
the speaker of this talk programme was Dr. Eva Zaleski, the Strategic Plan
Advisor of VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas). VSO is an independent
international development organization that works primarily through skilled and
experienced volunteer professionals who are placed with local partners.
She mentioned that the headquarters of VSO
is situated in UK and it has worked with Nepal for nearly 50 years. There are
about 500 VSO volunteers who are living in local communities and share their
skills for periods of up to two years, with the aim of building sustainable
local capacity. She also mentioned the programs and strategies VSO is applying
to accomplish its vision of a world without poverty.
It was an interesting and inspiring to hear
about what the organization has been able to accomplish since its establishment.
Their strategy was gripping and everyone was asking lots of questions to
understand more about it.
