Buzz Stock - If you’re serious, let your fingers do the walking, meaning, use the internet to research. A lot of these places are looking for solid volunteers. You just need to find one that includes room and board. Raise your own money to fly to the place that is willing to take you in. I’m sure if you connect with them and carry some conversations back and forth, they’d love to have you. You can do and become anything in this great country, it’s all up to you to do it. Only you can hold yourself back. Wishing you the best of luck and an amazing life ahead. Be well and stay smiling 🎈
