I want to volunteer overseas during my year off and was wondering which ones are the best to volunteer with and why.


Answer
Well if you're looking for gap year programs relating to volunteering in general i do have a few ideas. I'm not sure if these are considered NGOs or not but they are really cool and I think you may like them.

1. http://www.operationsmile.org/ This is an organization I think you would really like. They go overseas and try to give aid to kids with medical problems with their teeth n stuff. My friends have done it before.
2. http://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/ has really good options for volunteering abroad during a gap year.
3. http://www.rusticpathways.com/gapyear.html has gap year programs basically all over the world, looks really awesome
4. http://www.wheretherebedragons.com/programs.semester.php my friend is backpacking w/ this group for 6 weeks in morocco this summer. its really reputable & they have longer programs for semester/gap year things, too
5. Lastly, I know it's not overseas, but it's through the US Government, and you get paid a little for doing it, and it seems really cool: http://www.americorps.gov/

I hope these helped out out; I really tried to find you some cool looking stuff.

Do you consider yourself to be a creative writer?

Q. give my avatar a past, present and future......
what does it mean to be willowy exactly?


Answer
OK here goes - don't get mad now. You did ask for it.

Past - Totally pink bedroom. 250 stuffed animals on the bed. Each one had an adorable name and you made your father kiss each one of them good night every night (after reading Cinderella five times!) so you could avoid going to sleep. A precocious child, you used to wear your favorite Disney Princess costumes to pre school. Carried a Barbie lunchbox to first grade and by third grade graduated to Bratz. HUGE Full House fan. Wanted to be just like DJ when you grew up. Knew all the words to the score of Pocahontas. Sang Colors of the Wind at your Elementary School Graduation. Your mother cried.

Present - Redecorated your bedroom - now 60's retro with shag carpeting and the essential lava lamp and bead curtain on the door. Threw hissies every night for a month until you got your own phone and computer hookup in your bedroom. And then you talked the folks into the cell phone - properly bling covered just like Paris's. Middle school Princess O Prep. Never go anywhere without at least one Lisi Harrison book in your backpack. Know all the disses by heart and use them liberally to the amusement of your own clique. Madly in love with this kid in your Social Studies class who looks just like Zac Efron. He is like so hot! Favorite stores- The Gap and Old Navy. Your mother named you Claire after the Molly Ringwald character in The Breakfast Club - her absolute favorite movie ever. Thinking about getting a tongue piercing. They look so cool. Spent the summer on this boring vacation with your parents in Disneyworld listening to your two younger sibs fight. When you come home, you are heartbroken to learn that the guy in your Social Studies class has moved to California with his parents. Your grades suffer severely due to the depression.

Future - After college, you move to New York and pursue a career in the fashion industry - landing your dream job as Calvin Klein's personal assistant. What the job entails is going to Starbucks twice a day to get Calvin a double mocha latte - skim milk with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a blueberry muffin. He only eats the tops. You feed the bottoms to the pigeons in Central Park on your way home to your fabulous studio apartment after work. You become his muse and his 2012 collection is called The Claire Look. Pretty in Pink. At Fashion Week, you happen to run into the real Zac Efron who is now working as a house painter in upstate NY (all former child stars end up as house painters). You fall madly in love and move to a little town just outside Buffalo. Your first winter there, it snows 17 feet and you lose Zac when he slips off a ladder while clearing snow off the roof and dies in the resulting avalanche. Luckily he is insured. You buy a brand new Ford Edge (Blazing Copper - just like Derek Jeter's) and move to Florida where you get a job playing Sleeping Beauty at Disneyworld. You end up married to the guy named Howard Astaire who plays Captain Hook. Your name is now Claire Astaire and you have two kids - twin boys you name Chip and Dale.

That should about cover it. Enjoy your new life. Pax - C
