Hi

My name is Nompu Ntsele; I am 28 year old South African. I've lived in South Africa all my life; studied and currently working in SA and now looking for a new world to explore. I've been thinking about joining the expat world for some time now and I think 2013 is the year to take the leap of faith. That said I'd like to know what am up against?

Let me share my background:

I have 6 years work experience with various institutions including; the South African Government, Diplomatic corps( United States Mission to South Africa- as the local head of government and politics) , NGO( Aspen Institute) and various Think Tanks( Institute for Security Studies & PAX Africa ) .
I graduated with a Bachelor of Social Science Degree in 2007and went on to read for a Post- Graduate Diploma in African Diplomacy and Peacekeeping. I recently signed up for a Post- Graduate Diploma in Organizational Development with the University of South Africa. I catch on to languages very well and currently understand Shona and Swahili, I recently enrolled to improve my French.

I've travelled to the US and Southern Africa and understand the worlds are not the same and I consider myself very adaptable
What are my chances in NGO's somewhere on the continent?

Hello Nompu.

Do not hesitate browse the threads or to post a message on the Ghana, Kenya and India forums. You could gather some informations.

Thank you,

@Nassim1976 -> I think you should start a new thread on the Kuala Lumpur forum with your questions.

Thank you,

You may want to narrow your selection down to countries where you will be able to speak the language. I know of no other barrier higher than the language barrier.
