{{wikipedia p|Volunteer}}
Beware: There are sites which ask you to pay to volunteer! It's normal that you pay your own airfare, and perhaps pay a reasonable amount for food and accomodation, but some Western agencies charge volunteers well above the usual local rates in third world countries. It may be wiser to deal with non-profit groups or arrange things yourself (taking proper precautions, of course).
