VOLUNTARY SERVICE PROJECTS
SIR.—An interesting feature of World Refugee Year has been the evidence of large numbers of people anxious to offer voluntary service to those in need or distress. The files of this organisation, for example. arc full of such applications.
However, the scope for work amongst refugees is limited, and it is obvious that many of these volun-
teers would be pleased to assist any other social. welfare, medical or educational enterprises which. as a result, could enjoy benclits.that would otherwise be impossible.
The International Voluntary Service aims to organ- ise service projects in which these people, from Britain
and overseas, can participate, and all we ask in return is food and accommodation for them. There must be many institutions which would welcome this sort
of support, and in order that we may provide services where they are most needed, we should be pleased IC) receive requests for teams of workers from any body, however small, in need of them. It would be most unfortunate if, with this reserve of volunteers we should overlook a possible project through lack 01 in forma tion .—Yours faithfully,
International Voluntary Service 72 Oakley Square. NW!
