A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent
to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected But after a few days I soon got used to living there The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water The well was a long walk away And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered We built
a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time It wasn't perfect - there were a few
leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity

The Olympic Games originated in 776 BC in Olympia, a small town in Greece Participants in the first
Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honour of the god Zeus The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honoured with wreaths and special privileges There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors After they became professional circuses and carnivals, they were banned in 394 AD by
