deaxtime2 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am currently looking at humanitarian trips to Africa. I am looking for reputable company, not affilated with any major religion. If anyone has some ideas or has been on one and can suggest a company that would be great. Link to comment

purpleduckie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 if you go to school still... there's usually lots of organizations that advertise at the school. i hear it about 10 times/semester. in my opinoin, these humanitarian trips aren't really all that great if you want to make a difference. it's mostly just for the experience.. my roommie went last summer. i totally forgot to ask her about the website before going home... if you can wait for next week, i'll im it to you...

lost1607307474 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hey! I've gone on overseas volunteer trips with this company: link removed I live in Australia but there were a few people from Canada and the US on the trip as well - I'm not sure how it works. I went to Vanuatu but I'm pretty sure they go to Africa, too. Worth a look, anyway! Link to comment
laisla Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 you can try the UN, but i think you have to do some other volunteering with them before you get to go overseas (not 100% sure about this). you can visit Village Volunteers -> link removed. this group is in Ghana -> link removed. here is another: link removed. actually, i figured out that if you google "volunteer in africa" you'll find a TON of links.
