Hi all,

I have a young friend (25 I believe) in Finland who is, let's say, in 
need of some direction.  He's an extremely bright guy, and very 
thoughtful and caring, could no doubt learn anything quickly if he set 
his mind to it.  But, he doesn't really know what to do with his life 
and he's somewhat floundering, and I suggested doing some volunteer work 
for a year or two.  He is very open to that idea and in fact looked into 
it awhile back, but he only found organizations where volunteers have to 
pay a considerable amount out of their own pocket.

Does anyone know a reputable volunteer organization who might be able to 
help him pay his way to the country where he's working, and/or do a work 
trade arrangement?  He is willing to go pretty much anywhere and is open 
to helping poverty, the environment, or just about any area where he can 
do good.  He is a musician and audio engineer and could do field 
recordings, and although he's Finnish he speaks and writes English 
perfectly, and could teach English easily.  I'm sure that he could learn 
any sort of work that was required of him, but he just kinda needs a 
push to get him going and it would be a win-win, I'm sure.

If anybody has any suggestions, please contact me off list.  Thanks,
Lee
