About Me
- Tom Collins
- After a career in life assurance for longer than I care to admit I decided to do some work in developing countries. I tried to reeducate myself by studying international relations and then I signed up as a VSO volunteer. From March 2008 to March 2011 I worked as an Institutional Development Advisor to the Maga local council. Maga is a remote, poor and underdeveloped sub-division of the Far North region of Cameroon with a population of around 85,000. Life is very hard in Maga, the needs of its council and its people are enormous and I found many opportunities to add value. My three years there were the most fulfilling of my working life. If interested in supporting the people of Maga send an email to communedemaga@gmail.com. The opinions expressed in my blog are entirely my own and have not been vetted by VSO. Enjoy, Tom.

Congratulations Tom - I especially like that final picture!! I'm really sorry I couldn't make it, but I've a reasonably good excuse - I was thousands of miles away in the Syrian Arab Republic.
I'm delighted for you - congratulations to both Aicha and yourself.
