Africa is the second most populous continent on Earth, but sadly over one third of the population struggles to survive on less than one dollar per day. Malnutrition, Aids and other diseases, and injuries sustained in ethnic clashes create an overwhelming need for medical support. Doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentists and other medical specialist volunteers are needed to provide care to the poor living in rural areas.

Although animals still has an unrivaled freedom of movement across Africa their natural habitats are shrinking and are becoming fragmented. Hunting, poaching, and the loss of natural habitat are having a tremendous impact on these icons of Africa. It will be a sad day when the animals that are so symbolized with this vast, diverse, and rugged land only roam the jungles and savanna in our imagination. Volunteer to rehabilitate captured animals or work to protect their habitat; find an opportunity that satisfies your interest and make a difference.
