I have now been
managing the project for four months and momentum is really starting to
build. We have completed one project,
have four projects underway and several others that are about to commence. It is a really exciting venture to be a part
of and to see how O.R. can really benefit third sector organisation. As the word spreads about Pro Bono O.R. the
demand for it increases and as such I am writing to see if you would consider
becoming a volunteer.
