Title: Volunteering abroad is fucking expensive.
Post by: GilloD on April 06, 2007, 05:25:04 PM

So, my lady and I are looking to some kind of crazy volunteer/intern business over the summer. We're not the type to sleep in hotels and we're fine on the floor of a grass hut or something, but volunteer programs are expensive. I'm talking 800 bucks for 2 weeks, thousands of bucks for anything more than 6 weeks. Yuck.

I can't afford to volunteer. Anyone have any resources off hand with some maybe low-cost opps. abroad?

You'd be surprised at how expensive it is anywhere. I'm not looking to make money, I'm just looking to not go bankrupt while I'm trying to help. I have a fairly robust volunteer resume here, I'm trying to acrue some abroad experience, catch a little adventure, yadda yadda.

Nick, what?
