WWOOF

What is WWOOF?  A sound your dog makes?  Nope.  As it turns out it is an opportunity for those like you reading the blog who may want to see the world and help organic farmers and learn organic farming.  You can become a volunteer/member for the Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) and in exchange for your service you get free room and board on the farm you are serving. 

Talk about a win-win.  This noble organization began in the UK in 1971 and has grown ever since.  I clicked around the site and there are some really neat places that you and/or your students could travel the world and learn organic farming while helping someone with their business.
