VSO stands for V

oluntary Service Overseas. It is the largest independent volunteer

16

in the world with offices in many different countries. Since 1958, it has sent more than 30,000

volunteers to work

17

in Africa and Asia.

Tom Harahan is Irish and trained as a doctor. After he graduated from a

18

school

in Britain, he spent two years as a VSO volunteer in Malawi, East Africa. The following is an

entry from his diary.

14th April

I

arrived

at

Lilongwe

Airport

after

an

uncomfortable

flight

from

Nairobi

in

Kenya.

I

then

travelled for another five hours to

19

the hospital where I would work. On the way, the

driver told me a lot about Malawi. It wasn’t good news. There are so many problems. There are

often

20

and there isn’t enough food. There are also several dangerous diseases. The

life

expectancy

(

平均寿命

) of Malawian men is only 36

–

this is lower than it was in this country 50

years ago!

I was exhausted when I arrived at the hospital, but I wanted to meet the

21

people who

worked there and the other volunteers. It’s a nice hospital, but it isn’t big enough. It only has 50

beds, but there are about 20,000 people who

22

it. It’s the same everywhere in Malawi.

The population of the country is 12 million, but there are only 100 doctors and 2,000 nurses. In

Britain, the population is five times

23

, but we have half a million doctors and nurses.

I recently spent two years in the Arctic(

北极

) filming the series(

连续剧

)

Blue Planet

. I

love

being

in

an

environment

that

hasn

’

t

changed

for

20,000

years.

Of

course

it

’

s

freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch a cold.

When

I

am

filming,

I

like

to

really

feel

how

lonely

the

environment

is.

Filming

underwater involves cutting through thick ice. When diving in, you should tie to a line.

The person at the other end of the line has to pull you out fast if necessary.

At

first

I

was

a

research

diver

for

the

British

Antarctic

Survey

Project,

but

for

me,

science

isn

’

t

exciting

enough.

I

’

d

always

enjoy

photography,

and

whenever

camera

teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move

into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.

I prefer to be face to face with the animals I

’

m filming. I haven

’

t been in the water with

killer

whales

yet,

but

I

plan

to .

Of

course,

it

’

s

dangerous

if

you

choose

the

wrong

moment

.

They’re

big animals and can move fast, so I

’

d be stupid to film them when they

are searching for food!

I have never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one

tried

to

get

into

my

tent.

Polar

bears

are

bold,

clever

and

dangerous.

But

I

made

the

bear understand I wouldn

’

t hurt it.

Now I come back home, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to

keep fit. Now I

’

m fifty, and filming is harder. The challenge

（

挑战）

for me is to go on with

the high-quality work.
