 Becoming
a SCORE VOLUNTEER can be one of
the most rewarding experiences of your life. "My experience as a SCORE volunteer has changed me forever. I have a new understanding of the daily challenges facing millions of people around the world in developing countries. I have the greatest respect for people who achieve enormous things with very little help or resources. I have become accepted and integrated into a culture that on the surface appears so different from my own, but on examination from the inside out, appears so similar. I have taken my theoretical education to the limits of ingenuity in a very challenging environment and I have left behind a foundation for others to continue building on. I have made many special friends. It is very hard for me to say good bye." ~ SCORE volunteer 2002. Find out more on how to BECOME A VOLUNTEER. |

SCORE
is most grateful to all its FUNDERS
over the years. Without their continued financial and moral support
SCORE would not be in the favourable position it finds itself today.
Our capacity to meet the enormous needs of the communities and countries
in which we work is limited by the magnitude of financial support
we receive. If you are in a position to support the valuable work
that SCORE does please contact |
