I'm considering doing Voluntourism next year, and I was wondering if any of you have done this, and if so which orginazation you went through. I'm really thinking of going to Africa because i'd like to work in one of the orphanages there. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for sharing that site. I will be getting in contact with them soon to hopefully add their programs to our site.
I work for Untamed Destinations.The company links up travelers with responsible operators and the local communities, promoting responsible tourism.We have been handpicking inspiring volunteer and internship placements from all over Kenya to give you a fantastic experience and make a real difference to local people and the environment.We have various international volunteer and internship placement opportunities.
check us out at www.untameddestinations.com.
Thanks for sharing! This looks like an interesting organization.. at 160 Euros / month that is certainly cheaper than a lot of the other options I have been looking at. Can you share some more information about a typical volunteer?
Thanks!
Hi atlantagal,
I think you'll find a lot of great volunteer programs on our site at www.go-volunteerabroad.com. Many of the programs have user rating and reviews so you can learn what past participants thought about each program.
Good luck!

Hi atlantagal,
I did a volunteer working holiday off the west coast of Scotland and loved it. We did marine research, explored uninhabited islands and woke up to spectacular island everyday and I met fantastic people. I did it through the http://www.whaledolphintrust.co.uk/.
