How do I find a permanent job in an African Orphanage or start my own?

Question

I want to pack up my son and move us to Africa to work with the children so desperately in need but I don't know where to start. I would need to earn a basic wage or work somewhere that would house and feed us. If there isn't an Orphanage that needs us then I'd like to start my own since there is no shortage of Orphans in need! Any advice will help!

Answer 1

Just go,..NOW! It will all work out.. if you dont, you dont believe in yourself.  There are africans who need YOU now!!

Answer 2

There's a group I know very well doing extensive missionary work in Africa, though often at risk of their own lives. A dear neighbor of mine is there now working in Burkina Faso. If you are really serious, the group is headquartered at a private university on the North Side of Chicago and they are exceptionally well-regarded for their mission work in Africa. Here's a sight listing the types of jobs they're filling now with Americans. http://www.covafrica.org/needs.html#mini...
