What would you gain in volunteering ?
Without the selfless effort of volunteers our community
would be a poorer place for us all.
We may assist referencing for future job, reimbursement
of out of pocket expenses, likelihood of gaining experience and work related skills and enjoy socializing .
We would like SOCOA supporters and members of public assistance to volunteer their time, finance to help
and support our work in the community , and in particular
at this time of the year when people are most in need .
APPRECIATION : we would like to thank the BBC in its recent broadcast, highlighting issues of
abuse and torture of deported failed asylum seekers to Democratic Republic of Congo.
We also would like to thank local Network/Children Funds for ƒ4,000 grant towards SOCOA Project.
