Question
Hi John,
I'm interested in going to Burkina Faso to do 2 or 3 months of volunteer work. Are there such opportunities in Burkina Faso?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Pei-Shan
Hello Pei-Shan, I do not know of any agencies that do short term developement work in Burkina Faso. Ouagadougou is a crossroads for West African development, so there may be opportunities. I recommend you do a google search for agencies specializing in this approach. You also may want to visit the Friends of Burkina Faso Web site to look for connections. http://apache.tamu.edu/fbf/
Good luck oj your search. Burkina Faso is avery interesting place, with some of the nicest people anywhere.
