Lately I've been looking for some type of organization that provides service/volunteer vacations in other countries, maybe for a good deal of time.
I just imagine selling EVERYTHING and commiting myself and family to working for the greater good while immersing ourselves in another culture.
With a 7 year old, being concerned about his education and what effect it may have uprooting and being in what could be a not so stable situation, I thought I should start small. Maybe a volunteer vacation over summer or winter break.
My dear friend has turned me on to WWOOF, that is World Wide Organization of Organic Farmers who connect volunteers to work on and with with small organic farms and farmers, in exchange for food and shelter. Some farms not only welcome families, but have children of their own!
I would love to hear feedback from any mothers who have participated with WWOOF and what your expeirience was like.
Also, any leads on similar low cost volunteering opportunities, please share too
Warmest Regards,
Victoria
