>
>I came to the CPSR site looking for information about international
>volunteer work involving computers, but didn't find much. I've been
>working in information systems/tech writing/training/electronic
>publishing for over 12 years, and want to change my direction to one of
>public service for a while. I'm applying to the Peace Corps, but not
>sure if that's the best organization for me.
>
>I am willing to make up to a 2-year commitment, but do not have the
>resources to support myself while I volunteer, so I would need a stipend
>of some kind. I envision doing things like: teaching basic computer
>concepts (all this is personal computer-level stuff), word processing,
>database, spreadsheet, publishing, and other desktop applications, and
>perhaps how to organize small business information using a computer.
>
>Have you heard of any organizations doing this kind of work in countries
>that want this kind of training?

>Any suggestions would be appreciated. Feel free to forward this message
>to appropriate aliases or groups.

>Thank you.
