Answer:
There are a few places that do "short-term" work. Try any of these: Religious - Youth With A Mission - http://www.ywam.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1 Religious - Short Term Missions - http://www.shorttermmissions.com Short Term International Jobs - http://www.escapeartist.com/jobs35/jobs35.htm Doctors Without Borders - they need help from non-Medical folks as well - http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/volunteer/field/ Good luck
