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?"

Come by my place.
I'm just going to go ahead and shoot this down and suggest that you contribute your time and effort to supporting FOSS. There have to be plenty of developers out there who could really use your wife's counseling services...
Oh, you're forgiven, but you'll still burn in Hell.
No, you'd just need kevlar body armor.
Why are you letting these clowns ruin our country?
Dude,
You're posting on Slashdot. You're a D&D rulebook lawyer. Your sig is a Tolkien quote.
Did you think you were just a little nerdly?
Don't feel bad. I myself actually own a Star Trek collectible. You're in a safe place here, among friends. :-)
He put his boots up on the table and made a face. "The sig," he smirked. "You can waste your life in search of the sig."
...volunteer our professional services (I'm a network guy and my wife has a master's degree in counseling)
You know...that might actually work. After I let some volunteer-for-a-week upgrade my network, I'm sure my boss will demand I have a shrink examine my brain...
