Which voluntary organisation to go abroad with?

    Hi all,

    I went to India a few years ago for six weeks doing voluntary work. Next year I hope to go for longer (3-6 months), but the organisation I went with last time only do 6 week placements.

    I work with children with special needs and have an MSc in this area, so would like to be able to use the skills I have, but would consider any social/educational placement. I would love to go back to India, but again I would be happy to go where I can find the right placement.

    The organisation I go with is important e.g., they must be non-profit, so I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I am interested in EIL's internship programmes but would like to know about people's experiences with them? They don't seem to support the local projects aside from sending volunteers so I'm not sure if they are the right orgnisation to go with,

    I'd appreciate any thoughts really!
