Volunteer/Donate to 3rd world?
I dream of someday going on a vacation volunteer experience and building fresh water wells, or helping hungry people become self-sufficient- that kind of thing. I also work in an industry where I could maybe help plan community buildings/cities and would love to do something in that area.
In the meantime, I need to find short-term ways of helping. Have you volunteered your time in another country? How did you get involved in it? What are some organizations that I can contact to find out more?

Although they don't send volunteers overseas, World Vision is an AMAZING global aid organization you can donate time and money to. They do all kinds of smart aid, teaching people to fish rather than giving them a fish (literally, that is one of their programs!). They provide livestock and seeds for families to start farms, grant small business loans for women, dig wells for clean drinking water in villages, and send children to school. They launched a huge campaign to stop sex trafficking. They are basically everywhere in the world where there is a humanitarian need. You can browse their site to find just about any cause you are passionate about to donate to. Follow the link below and click on "Ways to Give":

They also have volunteer opportunities here in Chicagoland:
