I had a look at a good few international volunteer schemes, and Cross Cultural Solutions seems to have the important things just right*.
It isn't (thank your choice of deity or rational lack of super-being) about teaching backward foreigners how to live better lives, it is an exchange of ideas to increase understanding between different but mutually respected cultures.
CCS is an international not-for-profit organization with no political or religious affiliations, so neither is it about making money or converting people.
The places and people you work with are NOT paid to take you on, so you are really wanted.
If your interested their link is at the base of this page and it is NOT a sponsored link, I just like them.
*the views expressed in this blog entry are not the views of cross cultural solutions or its associates or non existent game show assistance called Samantha; though then again they maybe but I haven't actually asked them so best be on the safe side.
