you won't be able to gets a commission in case you're volunteering. some businesses will pay to fly you over and your room and board would be lined. by how, $225 will bypass an prolonged way in Africa. maximum familes there do no longer even make that for the time of one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days!

A lot of people recommend structured programs like Peace Corps so you don't get taken advantage of by local NGO's (non governmental organizations) seeking foreigners to volunteer and donate money to their cause. Be very careful of corruption in NGO's and local CBO's (Community based organizations) as many of them are not completely honest with you up front.
I have a few friends I met while in Africa who had some trouble finding an honest organization. I had a wonderful experience workin with a Catholic parish, even though I'm not Catholic. I think it depends on who you volunteer with.
good luck

Look up www.vso.org.uk web site. It is for the Voluntary Service Overseas Organisation that specialises in the sort of thing you want to do. There are also good web sites for Gap year student projects. Good luck in whatever you choose, it is a great way to see a different part of the world whilst doing some good in it.

Go to Africa at your own risk
OR
Come to India without any risk
If you work with good NGO'S.
You will have a sea change in your
Volunteer work thinking.
You will perhaps not think of returning.
