on BBC Radio 4 FM

Andrew Knight is a young nurse and one of the 130 British volunteers that the agency Voluntary Service Overseas has currently serving in East Africa. In Kenya their work ranges from family health to fish farming; in Tanzania from language teaching to land assessment.

Mike Wooldridge , a volunteer himself in the 1960s, returns to East Africa to report on the present Vio contribution.
Producer joy HATWOOD (Shortened repeat)
