Assignment in the Cameroon

I am excited to have been selected through the Canadian Executive Service Organization to do a volunteer assignment in Cameroon. This involves training staff who work for the local Council in "management of available resourses". I will find out more details in the next few weeks. This is a 21 day asignment and i expect to leave towards the end of November when I have my medicals and visas in place.

All about CESO

I was having coffee at Ottavio's on Oak Bay Avenue with my friend Martin Thomas (the guy who put together most of the downtown revitilization programs in BC). He told me that he had done volunteer consulting assignments in Hungary and Bolivia with Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO).

It sounded intriguing so I sent them my resume and after a screening process and an interview was accepted as one of CESO 2,800 volunteer advisors. If you want to find out more about CESO, go to http://www.ceso-saco.com
