I am a Food Science student at UCD who this summer is participating in the UCDVO Volunteering & Development Education programme as a member of a health care team in Kisiizi, Uganda.UCDVO is a registered charity which provides UCD students, staff and alumni the opportunity to engage in a year-long volunteering and development education programme for the benefit of disadvantaged communities overseas, in response to needs explicitly identified by those communities. Throughout the next year, I will participate in a series of UCDVO Programme Days, including development education workshops, health & safety training and team-building activities before travelling overseas.Examples of UCDVO projects include a community development and cultural exchange project in Northeast India, two physiotherapy projects in South India, assisting with the running of an education centre in Delhi, India, a computer education and environmental project in Haiti, an education and infrastructure project in Nicaragua, two computer education projects with teachers in Tanzania, and two healthcare projects in Uganda.

Voluntary organisation for UCD students, staff and graduates to engage in volunteering and global citizenship education programmes.
