Farewell Paul and Welcome Louisa!

This month was the last month for Mr. Paul Griffiths as the Information Technology (IT) Advisor at the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre (NGO RC). Paul was recruited through Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) and has spent almost two years helping the NGO RC to transition its electronic operations into a whole new era. He has been instrumental in restructuring our IT infrastructure; expanding our resources; improving security; fixing problems; and proposing new ideas. Paul has been a true team player; hard working; innovative; and always supportive of his colleagues. We wish him a safe journey back to the United Kingdom and we miss him already!
