Mary was recruited and trained by CUSO-VSO, which places approximately 200 volunteers in more than 40 developing countries each year. CUSO-VSO recruits professionals who volunteer their skills to meet the needs of our overseas partners. I grew up on a farm in PEI with my parents and nine brothers and sisters. Now, I live in Stratford, PEI with my partner, Paul. We have three children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and four wonderful grandchildren.I taught school for over 30 years. Now that I am retired, I am doing what I always said I would do: go back to Africa. In 1969, Paul and I taught for two years in Nigeria with CUSO. In April I will go to Nyamata, Rwanda, as a basic education methodology trainer to work with primary school teachers. I chose CUSO-VSO because it supports the belief that we can change the world, one volunteer at a time, and make a difference. Apply at www.cuso-vso.org

After graduating from the University of Prince Edward Island I volunteered with CUSO in Nigeria. In the 80s I worked with Oxfam Canada in Halifax as a development educator working across the Maritime region. In 1994 I began to work with CUSO in the Atlantic region and enjoy my current work with Cuso International.
