Just to share or spur the spirit. You don't have to look far to work with such causes. I had a friend who went to thailand and helped out in their rebuilding post-tsunami. He worked primarily as a teacher but also involved in many construction projects either for houses or school. He tied up with a local U and went there for three months under the AIESEC banner.
Also, when i was in cambodia, i had the oppurtunity to drop by the
Jayavarman VII Children's Hospital in Siem Reap. Most tourist drop by for a blood donation(extremely safe despite the perceived condition at the moment) but i couldn't becoz of my health condition at that time. My point being, they need more than blood and money to continue their operation, and non-medical volunteers are always welcomed. Can check them out at
