With over 40
countries from Japan to Thailand to Pakistan, Asia
provides an incredible diversity of learning and service
opportunities for international volunteers. China
and the former Soviet nations of Central Asia seek
volunteer English teachers. India offers dozens of
direct service and sustainable development volunteer
opportunities. Even countries that used to be somewhat
closed to outsiders, such as Mongolia and Vietnam,
now welcome volunteers in health, education, and economic
development
