Overseas volunteer work?
This has been on my mind for a while and something I am going to do as soon as I get the money to do so. I was wondering if anyone had any experience or knows someone who does and what organization you went through. There's so many of them it's hard to choose one.
All in all, I'm very excited at the prospect of being able to spend some time volunteering.

I've done work with Habitat For Humanity's Global Village program. It was probably one of the best experiences of my life - doing some serious physical labor, out of my comfort zone, with a great group of diverse people. There are trips in the US and in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and the South Pacific lasting 10-14 days and you don't need any prior construction experience. You're given plenty of free time to explore the local culture too!
I'm not entirely sure I'd be very good with a lot of physical work because of a car accident but I'll look to see if they have any other opportunities. Thanks for the suggestion.
