Humanitarian work wanted |
 Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 5:13 pm |

| Hi all,
I have been looking for a long term free project doing some humanitarian work. Ideally I would love to work with kids but am happy to try my hand at anything. I want to do something for at least a year in Africa (i think) but any ideas would really help. Anyone know of any projects which could help? Thanks |

| If you're looking for volunteering placements there are lots out there to choose from, but you have to pay for the privilege.
However, if you are looking for actual humanitarian work, from my research, you have to have experience working for a humanitarian organisation or have a degree in something similar before they will consider taking you on. |

| Try idealist.org they have jobs/internships, mostly in the US working with charities such as amnesty. They are very tough to get but they are free, but then again you would be working probably in a US city and that will be expensive.
They have a few programs in other countries, especially central and southern america |

| You'll have to pay for most projects you work on, but that covers the costs of your accommodation, meals, transport etc which means you're not a burden on the project you're trying to help.
Try http://www.africanimpact.com/volunteers/hiv-aids-volunteer-south-africa/ for a worthwhile project to do. |
