Voluntary Service International is holding a series of information workshops in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick in early this month on its voluntary work programmes in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The short-term programme (one to two months) invites people over 21 to work alongside local volunteers in a wide variety of projects, from building schools to planting trees. Information is available from VSI 30 Mountjoy Square, Dublin 1, at (01) 8551011 or vsi@iol.ie
