Peace Corps: Life Is Calling. How Far Will You Go? For many people
looking to enter into international careers, Peace Corps can be an ideal
opportunity to learn a language, gain cross cultural experience and
build the confidence to function in a new environment. Volunteers
receive intensive language and cross-cultural training in order to
become part of the communities where they live. They speak the local
language and adapt to the cultures and customs of the people with
whom they work.

Volunteers work with teachers and parents to improve the quality of,
and access to, education for children. They work with communities to
protect the local environment and to create economic opportunities.
They work on basic projects to keep families healthy and to help them
grow more food. Their larger purpose, however, is to work with people
in developing countries to help them take charge of their own futures.

At the same time, volunteers learn as much, if not more, from the
people in their host countries. When they complete their service in the
Peace Corps, volunteers work to strengthen America's understanding
of different countries and cultures.

The Peace Corps is fulfilling its promise by sharing America's most
precious resource with the rest of the world: its people. Volunteers
have helped pave the way for progress for countless individuals who
want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their
communities.

Most Peace Corps Volunteers are college graduates with degrees in
liberal arts, such as history, political science, English, social studies, or
psychology. The Peace Corps can find assignments for people with
degrees in photography, theater, and other fine arts. There is also a
need for people with degrees in non-liberal arts fields, such as
business, engineering, and the sciences. In addition, there are
opportunities for individuals with professional skills and work
experience (in such areas as business, technical trades, and
agriculture) and a commitment to service, but who may not have a
college degree.

In order to qualify for Peace Corps service, applicants must be US
Citizens and at least 18 years old. While most of the programs require
a college degree, many people qualify for peace corps service with
experience in fields such as business, agriculture, skilled trades or
computers. For more information about Peace Corps programs and
application procedures, visit www.peacecorps.gov.

Azafady is a UK charity and Malagasy NGO working in southeast
Madagascar to alleviate poverty, improve well-being and protect
beautiful unique environments. Pioneer Madagascar is a unique
opportunity for people to directly support and participate in Azafady's
work at the frontline of global conservation and development.

Pioneers join the Azafady NGO team in southeast Madagascar for ten
weeks. Pioneers work within local communities supported by our team
of specialists gaining skills and experience in a diverse range of health,
sustainable livelihoods and environmentally based projects. Living
conditions are basic, usually camping in beautiful remote areas and
cooking over a fire.

Besides physical and mental health, enthusiasm and cultural sensitivity
are key requirements; specialist skills and experience are welcome but
in no way essential to become a Pioneer.

Pioneer volunteers are asked to raise a minimum donation of £2,000
preferably through sponsorship activities, as this helps to raise public
awareness about the unique beauties of Madagascar along with the
plight of its people and its many endemic and endangered species.

Apart from being a unique personal adventure, Pioneer is a great
opportunity to gain experience towards a career in conservation and/or
development work. Pioneer schemes begin in January, April, July and
October each year. Visit www.madagascar.co.uk to find out more.

WARNING
Please be careful if you are asked to send money in advance to an
employer or an agency. Though many organisations that advertise
in JAB may require a fee (ie gap year expeditions and voluntary
organisations requiring a contribution towards food and
accommodation), it is not legal for UK employment agencies to
charge employees for job placing services (au pair agencies are
one of the few exceptions). If you believe an advertiser in this
bulletin is not playing the game fairly, please report them to us.

===========================

JAB is thrown together quickly on a shoestring and contains ads
that we believe are authentic and currently available. However,
readers should check out things for themselves and not blame us if
things go wrong. Readers with any questions, comments or
complaints about an advertisement should contact the advertiser
directly.

Taking a Career Break - Published by Vacation Work
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1854582550/payaway

Students aren't the only ones taking time off. Many workers heed a
higher calling and take time off work to travel, volunteer, write or
just simply do something else. Now, having kids, a mortgage, and
other responsibilities need not be an insurmountable obstacle in
taking time off work.

'Its enthusiastic approach will inspire you... the breadth of career
break options is staggering.' The Observer

> AUSTRALIA
Conservation Work
Mighty and beautiful it may be, Australia is forever at the mercy of
the elements, and man. Clearing of trees for cattle and sugar-cane
by the first Europeans, the logging of rainforest oaks for tables,
and footfalls from visitors have left scars that beg to be healed.

You can start your placement in any of the following cities:
Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and/or Sydney.
From your gateway city, you could be based anywhere in the
State.
