Description
Jaimie McGoldrick is a young Scotsman serving as a United Nations Volunteer in the Pacific nation of Papua New Guinea. One of over 1,300 volunteering men and women from some 90 countries, McGoldrick divides his time as a Sports and Recreation Officer between prison inmates and the physically handicapped. Like all UNV's, he will work in his host country for two years, receiving an assignment and living allowance but no salary. The rewards of voluntarism are McGoldrick's satisfaction in successfully establishing and running recreation programmes for prisoners and the disabled alike.
