I am part studying third world urban housing this year but in June/July wish to go away for a few months and further this on a practical level. I wish to do this in Paraguay, Bolivia or Brazil (Uruguay also but I know this is unlikely). ANY help would be immensely appreciated this is very important to me and I'm getting nowhere googling. Cheers, Martin

WANGO NGO Worldline Non Profit Expert Could there be someone in the department where you study that you could talk to? or someone from the school that might have some ideas? -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.

Ofcourse! I didn't even think of it but that's a great organization more in your line of study/work. -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future.
