hi there. I'm yves, taking environmental studies at YorkU. in Toronto, and for personal reasons, I have the urge to do some traveling. However, I have no money to sustain myself the whole summer, so I was wondering if I could connect with organic farms needing volunteers (and willing to give me room and board). I would like to visit more than one area at a time, volunteering for no more than a couple weeks at a time at one place. Is anyone, or does anybody know of anyone who may be interested in my humble proposal? feel free to e-mail me at yu143415@yorku.ca

thanks, yves

Try WWOOFing

Dear Yves This message may come too late to be of any use to you, but you might like to try contacting WWOOF (Willing Workers On Organic Farms). Their address is http://www.earthlink.com.au/wwoof/ . We have an organic farm in North Queensland, where we grow ginger, and we have many WWOOFers from all over the world. It is interesting and usually worthwhile for all concerned. Perhaps we will hear from you some time. Carmel
