Global Crossroad Work Travel Company The second one looks fantastic, although I have only found one place it mentions the price on, and it doesn't seem to be repeated anywhere or have any in/exclusions. I've ordered a brochure though so hopefully that will be more specific. The first one looks a lot like hard work, which is what I wanted, but I wanted more to see the place and the people, and WTC seems to incorporate a lot of that. Still looking! |

Well, I'm not really sure as of yet! I did a trip to Texas/Mexico a couple times in college (helping build low-income houses, and spending time at an orphanage), but that program was just for students. I guess I'd like to do something similar. Since it would only be for about a week, I don't think anything like teaching would be an option. I'm interested in any Latin American countries, so that I can get a chance to hone my Spanish skills. I'd love to be able to do something with the company I have a sponsor child through- World Vision- but I don't think they offer opportunities like what I'm looking for. When/for how long are you looking to go? |

A good few weeks I think, no less than 3 weeks. I probably won't be ready till about May onwards , which is the most uncomfortable time for India. (Hmm, I went to Thailand in May as well, and that was pretty hot. Maybe I should rearrange my travel times! No, I like hot actually. I'd also like to go to South America, to practise my Spanish, but I haven't really looked into that yet. |

Well, I think the last time I posted these links was before you joined this little band of misfits, but just for the record: http://www.dlarch.com/Montana%20de%20Luz.html http://www.montanadeluz.org One-week trips are the norm... |

Dwain, that looks EXACTLY like what I had in mind. I'll definitely have to look into that more closely. And, er, read more of that story about "Dwain's Naked Adventure" and the "explosive intestinal problems." :lol: |

This looks great, Sarah! What a great site, thank your for letting us know about it! Optimistic, look at the bottom right of the site, there's a 'gap for grown-ups' link, with some really wonderful looking opportunities. |
