How Do You Volunteer Professional Services?
 

keefus_a writes "My wife and I usually take a week long vacation in the Spring and I tossed out the idea of volunteering abroad. Neither of us has a problem with doing manual labor, or whatever task is needed. However, I thought it might be of some value, and substantially more rewarding than our daily grind, if we could volunteer our professional services (I'm a network guy and my wife has a master's degree in counseling). The problem is that I haven't found any resources for doing so on a short-term basis. So I ask Slashdot. Has anyone ever done short-term volunteer work in your professional field? What organization did you contact? Or are we better off donating money to a particular cause and just working on a tan?"pa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/01/20/206249/How-Do-You-Volunteer-Professional-Services?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/20/206249"/a/ppa href="http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/01/20/206249/How-Do-You-Volunteer-Professional-Services?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./ppa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/SCHbZcmdMvMGgtwjeUq9wd1npXM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/SCHbZcmdMvMGgtwjeUq9wd1npXM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/SCHbZcmdMvMGgtwjeUq9wd1npXM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/SCHbZcmdMvMGgtwjeUq9wd1npXM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/NhXDw_vI_SY" height="1" width="1"/
