    Does anyone know of any Irish organisations looking for volunteers to work overseas, similar to vso or peacecorp type orgs, I would really like to find out more information and if anyone has any experience, hear about how it was for them.
    Thanks

    What kind of work do you want to do and for how long? There are loads of organizations and it'd be easier to advise you if you gave more info. There's a few stickie threads on this forum with information on the different organizations.

    Sorry, I didn't have much to go on and was just throwing it out there to see what is available. I spent much of the day searching online and I found a couple of links that were useful. My interest really was to go out and work in Chernobyl. I also found a link to Chernobyl intl and sent them off an email.
    I have a background in social care and would like to be able to do something there, for a couple of months or however long I can/is appropriate. I would even be happy to build if they would let me.
    I also remembered a family friend went out a couple of years ago so I contacted him but have yet to hear back but if anyone does have information they could share, like costs and the kind of work involved that would be great.
    Thanks again

    Does anyone know. Are there oppurtunities to volunteer for organisations like outreach moldova for people who have no experience working in this field or whose qualifications are not in this field?

    Yes but there is a general skills to amount required in fundraising ratio. The more skilled you are the less you have to fundraise and vice versa.
