Paul's Travels for
Voluntary Services Overseas

"For some years following retirement from his life's work as
Youth and Community Worker for the Culm Valley, Devon
Paul Hague looked to indulge his passions for adventurous travel and
for engaging with people in his positive and helpful way.
Offering his services to Voluntary Service Overseas in Africa and in
Papua New Guinea provided the opportunity for just such a mixture.
His occasional entertaining emails to his more sedentary friends
back in England provide the material for this website.
We have persuaded Paul to make these fascinating emails available here
for anyone interested in VSO, adventure, cultural diversity
and learning what the hell Paul was getting up to during those years that
he was not available to join our social gatherings,
where he oft was toasted. “Here's to Paul!”"
