Question

Do you know of any programs/organisations where you can go do aid work in africa?

Answer 1

Most people end up in africa through their church on a missionary thing.  They also end up annoying the local cultures by telling them their religious beliefs are wrong.  "Why did they kill the missionaries we sent to the Congo, Martha?"  "I just don't KNOW.. the savages!"

Peace Corps still does big things there, and you can provide a lot of help to people without the above problem.   Peace Corps or Red Cross are your best bet.

Bravo, you have a good heart.  Bring a gun, though.  Africa is not a nice place.  No matter what Sally Struthers may have you thinking, hunger is NOT the biggest problem there.
