Every year about 1.500 young men and women recruited by Voluntary Service Overseas have been leaving the United Kingdom to spend a year or more in overseas countries helping in the development of the emergent nations.
This programme gives the recorded impressions of a cross-section of V.S.O. cadets, graduates, and apprentices who between them have served all over the world.
