Hello,
     There is a world of harm done by good intentions, I am a world Traveler, my name is Andy Graham, and I have traveled perpetually for over 12 years. Because of the harm done to nations by good intentions, I am reluctant to help people to volunteer.

     However, to help, I am going to create a list of ways to volunteer that does not harm people of the planet.

Organizations:
1. Red Cross
2. Doctors without Borders
3. Peace Corps
4. Giving amputated people man made legs, arms etc.

Self-Created Volunteer:
1. Give blankets to people sleeping under bridges.

2. Writing nasty letters to countries and telling them to take care of their crazies.

Normally Harmful
1. Missionaries
2. Any pay to volunteer positions

    Donations: Please take great care with donations, they are good for disaster relief, but horrible when given to other countries in the normal course of life. A donation that gives money to an Africa country for example, enables a country to not do their proper duty and job, thus elongating the time the major problem exist.

    Give a donation, create a slave for life. Read this: Enslaved by Love
