Susan, what a great idea.
I was so moved by what I saw when I was travelling in Africa that I volunteered my time with several orphanages along the way. This gave way to working for Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) for 7 years. It is not so easy getting work with international humanitarian organizations while travelling through these lesser developed countries, however there certainly are alot of opportunities to apply for via internet or when back home. a good resource is the vacancies at reliefweb.org. or msf.org
Many of these organizations require logistics or admin type people.
This is certainly one way of contributing to those places that left you with a feeling of wanting to do more.
If you can't give the time you can always send a donation.
Send me an email if you have any questions.
