    Hello everyone.

    I'm almost finished making a new website all about volunteering abroad. I know there's a myriad of them. But people keep asking me the same questions; how did I get into it, what options are there for them, why do they have to pay so much? So I decided to make a one page website with all that info so I could just direct people there in future.

    Well, I like writing and it grew and now it's a lot bigger than a one page website.
    What would be great is if I could get stories from other people about their volunteering abroad experience with a few photos - to give others an idea of how to get started. I started in a student society which won't be much good for all the adults who are beyond that. Or if anyone has anything else to contribute they're welcome.

    I've no intention of ever making money on this. In fact, I'm trying to make it the opposite of those websites with a volunteering search engine, and then you have to pay thousands just to get in touch with the charity. So, definitely no financial reward. If anyone's interested drop me a PM.

    Thank you

    I had it pretty much up and then I got hacked!
    So I'm rebuilding (or re-writing).

    May I ask, is there anything in particular you're looking for? Might help me to put up info that's relevant. Cheers!
