The Thought of Volunteering

During my travels abroad, I really want to do some volunteering.  A few months ago I looked up quite a few websites for opportunities to volunteer in Africa.  I think that this whole experience would be amazing and that I would learn a lot.  I would like to go to a country where I probably wouldn't normally travel too.  I saw this one about working on some elephant orphanage (I forget which country) but how cool would that experience be?  I don't see myself doing volunteering with sick people so to speak, but working with animals or maybe even children and teaching them English would be great. 

Does anyone have an comments or ideas of where I could do this?  I haven't done too much research - but I know that typically you have to actually PAY a fee to volunteer.  Then in addition of course you have your room and board, and then visa costs, food etc.  I don't want to pay a fortune but a budget of $1-2K would be appropriate.  Looking to do it for 2-4 weeks; depending on what country in Africa.


Hmmm - it's Friday!  Off to LA for the weekend.  9 more days of work at JCI!
