Hello Robert,
The only problem is that I'm not a part of a church, & at the Aid
Workers website, they said it wouldn't necessarily help me "get my
foot in the door." They said that just because you show a
willingness/express yourself about helping people, they'd be more
likely to hire someone who has a degree & who has expertese in the
fields they need help in.
I didn't think it'd be that hard, but I was wrong. That's why I'm
looking for someone who can give me an idea of what classes to take,
what language/s I should be trying to learn, etc.
Michelle
