Impressions of a VSO in Pakistan

It is more than 50 years since young Geoff Langston
decided to volunteer for VSO service overseas, and
was sent to Pakistan to apply his skills as an electrical
engineer to the training of local people as electricians.
He found himself plunged in at the deep end without
preparation or training, first at an eye hospital and
then at a Christian training centre. Along the way his
adventures included enduring a devastating tropical
cyclone, hiking up into the Himalayas and making a
trip through the Khyber Pass to Afghanistan.
