Talking Has anyone ever done volunteer work overseas?

Getting itchy feet (again) and fancy doing something different. (Before I settle down next year and get into my trades at next years intake )

Looking into volunteer work overseas - has anyone done it before?

If so, is it difficult to get into? What was it like?

I am looking at a few organisations, so any advice on the ones you have worked with would be great!!

TIA

When I was in the navy I volunteered to be the first ashore to check out the bars & local ladies every time. Very rewarding
Take it that was the type of volunteer work you meant

Portugal for Spinal injured people might be a possibility?

Any experience?

Remember my correct name when addressing me Chocolate.

If you are confused now, what chance have you got?

That seems a bit cruel. Do they just squash them all together?
