    Just wondering if anybody has volunteered with them and how they found them? I'm thinking of vounteering in the medical and healthcare for a month. :D

    Would it not be better to give the the thousands of Euro you're going to give to this company to a charity?

    There are many threads around here on people paying to volunteer. Brief recap is they are making money on poor people. Does this sound like something you want to be part of?

    Ireland has SO many charities that may use your help. Why not go with one of them?

    Well I'm not saying don't do it at all. There are many, many charities looking for people. Concern, Goal, the UN even. Why not go with a charity?

    I think the OP might not realise that the crowd she has mentioned are a for-profit company who are basically offering holidays to go to poor places and help out. I'm only saying go with a charity, not a company. It'll be cheaper for the OP too.
