Hi All,

6 month lurker, first time post. I just got back to Brisbane after 7 years working in Asia. Loving life in Brisbane and will be back for good. Hopefully I will be able to contribute a lot more in the future other than my current reading and researching efforts......

I saw this volunteer position on the Australian Youth Ambassadors website and thought that some would be interested. The Youth Ambassadors is a good program and ery legitimate. They are advertising for a Woodwork Trainer in Yogyakarta in Indonesia. It is a 12 month assignment.

Just to hit a few questions on the head: monthly 'volunteer' stipend is about $1200 a month (includes accommodation expenses); return air tickets are covered; age limit is 18 - 28, I think. No doubt some other 'more mature woodies' will agree that this is a pretty good opportunity. :)

All the best, Bede

Good one Bede, and welcome.

Yep, YAA is spoken highly of by graduates of the program.

Onya BBE,

That would be a good job for opening both ones Eyes and Doors for one.

Is there much to spend $$$$ on over there?

I started a new job and i'm pretty happy here - right now we're doing the Australian Open. Every piece of furniture, stands and displays is made by my work
