Who is UCDVO?

Posted Thu, 08/27/2009 - 21:05 by UCDVO

UCD Volunteers Overseas is a charitable organisation offering students, staff and alumni of University College Dublin the opportunity to contribute their time, energy and skills to development projects overseas. The charity was founded by Fr. Tony Coote (former UCD Chaplain) in 2003 and projects have been taking place every year since then. UCDVO officially became a UCD Society in April 2009 and approximately 800 members signed up to join our society during Freshers' Week 2009. We currently run projects in India, Haiti, Nicaragua and Tanzania, where volunteers collaborate with local communities on small-scale development projects in response to local needs. Some examples of our work include the Health Centres built in Nicaragua 2007 & 2008; summer camps in Haiti 2005-2009; physiotherapy support in the Mother Teresa Home, Delhi 2003-2009; and computer education programmes in Tanzania 2009.
