Reply to Don's Post: hello, thanks fr your reply, i have been searchng the net for work, in places in africa, and thailand or areas around these places, i typed in peace core and some organizations were found, ie starfish. but they are all very expensive, i have enough funds for the flights and esentials, but they cost £1000 upwards to be involved in the scheme, i didnt realise that for voluntary work it would cost so much, and was just wondering if there is any cheaper ways to fufil this. my parents are very weary of all this so i would like to put their minds at rest and let them know im with an organization that keep us as safe as possible, i have up to a year off work. i would like to do some paid work in these countries too, but not sure if there is anything available and not sure who to contact. thanks for your help, email me if you would like anymore particular information. im hoping to do around three months voluntary work, at anypoint throughout the year. thanks
