“I developed a sincere and trusting relationship, feeling that we can move forward together!”
With a background in international cooperation and work experience with the Red Cross, I was excited to change the color of the “Cross” and discover a new organisation. As an IBC volunteer I have been accompanying a self-help project in Burkina Faso for over a year. During that time, the team of the Blue Cross Burkina Faso and I developed a sincere and trusting relationship, feeling that we can move forward together. My placement with IBC has helped me to integrate into the Swiss labour market – I have now found a job in the non-profit sector!
