How Do You Volunteer Professional Services?
keefus_a writes "My wife and I usually take a week long vacation in the Spring and I tossed out the idea of volunteering abroad. Neither of us has a problem with doing manual labor, or whatever task is needed. However, I thought it might be of some value, and substantially more rewarding than our daily grind, if we could volunteer our professional services (I'm a network guy and my wife has a master's degree in counseling). The problem is that I haven't found any resources for doing so on a short-term basis. So I ask Slashdot. Has anyone ever done short-term volunteer work in your professional field? What organization did you contact? Or are we better off donating money to a particular cause and just working on a tan?"
You're the one calling someone a sociopath for daring to disagree with you and suggest that someone take an actual vacation with their vacation time. You're the one who's blindly being ideological and trying to force your views on people - and if you'd even bothered to read a damn thing Ayn Rand wrote, you'd realize that your quips about her being anti-family, friends, and community are completely false.

Oh yes, support fascism, go tour Thailand. To be fair, I tell people not to visit the USA for the same reason...
