Good morning,

I have an idea to go and help teach the children in Ethiopia nex year. My friend who is doing sports with the children in the coming month is already travelling in South Africa and heading to Ethiopia and using the agency LinkEthiopia.

I am wondering if I should use the same agency. I have contacted and received an email about the Gap programme etc. from LinkEthiopia but I am still unsure but I'm not sure what my hesitation is in using them.

what is the potential of my connection with LinkEthopia

Hex 58.1.4>29

Is this just a reflection of my hesitation.

What is my hesitation in using this agency

Hex 28.4.5>46

I sorta do wonder if it's all sincere because of some of their marketing strategies.

thks

When I was there a life time ago, the place was like a gigantic Nazi-era concentration camp -- disease, corruption, brutality, starvation. I doubt it has improved much. Three months there won't do you much harm, but much longer and you turn into a zombi. Until you get there you are unlike to realize how bizarre the country is. Read the section on female genital mutilation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia

My objection to the Link Ethiopia site is that I found no feedback from volunteers who have made the trip. Either there haven't been any or some have had bad experiences.

Through your post and a conversation I have had with a friend I am definitely reconsidering the whole thing.

how is working in a third world country right for me

Hex 39.3>8

Looks like I should let go of that idea and seek and 'union' else where.

If there were some way you could apply your special talent to make Ethiopia a more humane place, it would be a blessing to the country.

Hi Pocossin - I am unaware I have a special talent but thks for suggesting that I have. At the moment I am thinking of Peru with http://www.projects-abroad.com.au/ and I will be having an online information session with them on the 20th July. Sounds a lot more promising. x

Oh of course, yes pocossin that is correct, I wasn't thinking on that level!

If only everybody in the whole World would think outside the square - what a beautiful place we would live. :hugs:
