Some friends of mine recently came back from volunteer work abroad via ICS and wanted me to spread the word of the great work that’s being done and of course I’d love to. I had heard of ICS but for those who haven’t, ICS is a UK government-funded development programme. It’s open to 18 to 25-year-olds from all backgrounds to volunteer for work abroad and fight poverty in some of the poorest communities.
