Format:Paperback
Bit disapointed with this book. I bought it for my sister when she went on her year out. I had a similar book when I was her age and it was great giving a range of options in order of price (some of them you actually got paid for!) I thought everything is this book looked like an advertisement for some project you could pay to work on and some of them where quite substantial amounts. At least it gives you n idea of where to start looking

A Lovely Overview of International Volunteering
13 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
This is the perfect title for those looking for international volunteer opportunities. I found the listings to be well categorized and written and the book to be an inspiring read over all. In terms of a single-volume jumping off point to inspire potential volunteers into service, this is an excellent guide. My only complaint might be that the information about traveling is a bit basic for a seasoned traveler, but maybe its designed for younger people volunteering before college. Overall, highly recommended.

This little book is a great acquisition, it's compact, has information about organizations all over the world that have this kind of programs, each organization has a summary about the organization it self, costs, requirements and another useful information.
I haven't gone anywhere yet, but I think this book is a great tool to explore your options !

About this guide
26 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a great guide for who want to help others and give themselves a cause to support, but the only problem is that the words are so small they had so much information to give, instead of expanding the book they squeezed it into this book that fits in your back pocket.
