Fidesco Globe Reporters: volunteer for freedom of press

Fidesco is a catholic organization for international development. It recruits and sends volunteers to developing countries where they make their personal and professional skills available to the poor and live among them in modest but fair conditions. Fidesco has proven to be a school of life.

Fidescos mission is the full development of all human beings without taking into account religious, ethnic, or cultural differences. At the moment 130 volunteers are on mission in 31 countries for one or two years in Africa, Asia, North- and South America.

The DVD Globe Reporters was shot by Imagine in Nations to show several of the volunteers' projects and gives a good picture of the cultural, human and spiritual dimensions of volunteer work abroad. This fifth part (out of 10) shows a Fidesco volunteer working as journalist for the only uncensored printing press in Cameroun and neighboring countries.
