Thanks for the input and advice guys.
I totally agree VG, it would be completely draining, and heartbreaking....and so unbelievably worth it. I know there is so many countries that need assistance and volunteers, and Africa really seems to be calling my name. I have been doing quite a few searches on the net and any projects going to Africa are typically between $3000-$4000 for about 4-6 weeks (not including airfare), whereas I could go to a place like Romania (which has a strong need for workers in the many orphanages) for about $1500-2000 for 4-6 weeks. Not to mention all the money I would have to spend on shots and stuff.
I am just gonna keep searching, and hopefully the rigth opportunity will come my way.
