Hey all, Like most of you on here, I'm looking to take a one year break (from teaching) and was hoping to get a little advice/feedback from those of you that have already done so. With a year off, I am hoping to do a handful of different programs for a few months each. Among those handful, im hoping to hit on the following areas: working with animals/wildlife, expeditions/adventure and possibly teaching (though this is what im taking a break from!). I've been researching a lot of programs, but the number of ones out there can be overwhelming, so I'm trying to narrow it down so I can focus on just a few. If anyone could provide some feedback/advice on the following programs and questions (or anything else really), please feel free....it'd be much appreciated. Of course, if im leaving any out that anyone thinks are worth, please let me know... Trekforce Raleigh International BUNAC Projects/Teaching Abroad Original Volunteers Global Vision International Santa Martha African Conservation Experience Quest Overseas Pathfinders Africa Venture Co Worldwide Travelers Worlwide Cross Cultural Solutions Madventurer Changing Worlds JET Program (teaching in Japan) In terms of fundraising, is it worth it write to businesses or companies for a sponsorship? If so, what types specifically? Ive read many posts on here and they are really helpful. So again, thanks for any and all suggestions and advice.
