CUSO-VSO
Summary: CUSO and VSO Canada have merged to form CUSO-Voluntary Service Overseas, one of North America's largest international development organizations that works through volunteers. The two agencies joined forces to more effectively work towards our vision of a world without poverty or injustice. The act of volunteering can be transformative for both the overseas communities and the volunteers themselves. That's why CUSO-VSO believes we are changing the world, one volunteer at a time. As a strengthened CUSO-VSO, we can send more volunteers to work in solidarity with more partner groups in more countries. CUSO was founded in 1961, and VSO Canada started in 1995. Combined, they placed over 12,000 volunteers who contributed to a world of solutions in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas and the Caribbean.

I loved talking with the people at work. Some are visually impaired, some cannot walk but they are determined to make the most beautiful things. I bought a basket used for shopping. They made it with leather lining and made it look beautiful. Cant tell you how many people tried to buy it from me on my way home. This is the place to shop on the coast.
