I would not mind doing volunteer work. Any links or info would be greatly appreciated.

FSD offers summer and year-round internships in six countries: Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Peru, Tanzania and Uganda. I personally know the founder and director of this agency, and can attest to its integrity. I think you could have a great experience... I applaud you for your generosity of spirit!
