Placement

Current situation.

Due to fly out on Saturday 20th October, flights booked by VSO.
The first week out there is an introductory/familiarisation week which includes a language course, introduction to the VSO team and employers, Setting up bank accounts and buying items for our assigned accommodation.

However still awaiting VSO to get my work permit approved with the relevant Malawi department.

A bit worrying for me as it could get rejected as I have no official accreditation that I have SQL skills.
These were all learnt while working within IBM over the last 20 years.

Hence very frustrated that VSO have not got an answer yet as it's now just over two week to go.

Key date is Friday 4th. VSO have promised to get an update if no commitment then need to agree a delayed departure date.
