Welcome to the Global Dairy Volunteers Yahoo Group! This discussion list is for people who have volunteered or are interested in volunteering to assist dairy farmers and/or the dairy industry in developing countries.

The purpose is to allow the members to:
- network with other dairy volunteers working in developing countries
- seek/give information on past or future assignments with various non-governmental organizations (NGO's) in specific countries
- seek/give assistance with global dairy resources
- post information about dairy industries in developing countries that may be useful for other volunteers

It would be helpful if each of you could post which countries you have worked in so that others going there can ask questions and get information before their travels. Please try to post some pictures of your work. This list allow 5 pictures/album. Feel free to refer folks to a website, Facebook, or Picasa album to view more photos. Also, please sign postings with your name and location, as the list only shows email addresses in the "Members" section.
