Hi i dont know if this is the correct forum so I apologsise in advance.
I had not thought about volunteering up until this month really. i was wondering if anyone knows where you can volunteer without having to pay a huge sum to do it, I would like the option of being able to do it for anywhere between 3 months and a year.
Thanks
:)
A good page of resources for volunteering - mostly teaching English - is here: http://www.tefltemp.com/Volunteer_TEFL_Jobs.htm
I think that website has tried to keep the fee-paid outfits to a minimum.
Where do you want to go? [www.volunteersouthamerica.net] is an option. It is a list of a lot of free or cheap opportunities throughout South America.
africa and india is at the top of the list . South america is somewhere I would like to go and teach.
Idealist.org is the best resource site for volunteering. But really, it's better to know what you want to do. And be careful - these "not-for-profit" orgs are and many of them are just a waste of time.
Have a look at http://www.unv.org/en.html
It's with the UN. They have lots of different projects around the world.
another place to look is www.workaway.org we did 6 months volunteer work in tanz. my suggestion is to ask LOTS of questions before you go, accomodation, food, avail shopping for food, medical etc. good luck, if you look long enough i am sure you will find something.
