thanks everyone, so much. i really appreciate it. i haven’t replied to the question because i’ve been so busy doing research. RedPowerLady, that link opened up so many possibilities, thank you so much. and hearkat, i’m pretty adaptable to any job i do, that’s the thing and why i think volunteering is really excellent for me. i don’t fluently speak any foreign languages, i know the basics of french and very little spanish. Zen, like i said i just speak english, and can hold a simple conversation in french. a lot of the trips at least from the one website i found that has a lot through RedPowerLady’s suggesteddd site… ecoteer.com don’t require another language and you can find trips that suite you. isreal isn’t really ideal for me. i want to go to more of the south american, carribean, and eastern europe areas. i definitely need an organization to send me, not my own expense YarnLady. i’m going to check out redcross now in the next few days- thank you. doctors without borders, again thank you so much guys and any further help would be appreciated. i really am excited for this. it puts such a smile on my face and i can’t wait till i have a legitimate trip set forth, ahh.
