I would heartily encourage any childless adults interested in working
internationally to do so. I think a stint overseas would have be just
the sort of useful work I wanted to do. (Peace Corps told me they're not
interested in people with kid/s).
If I'd figured out how important international ecofeminist
isssues were to me a few years ago I'd have had an opportunity I don't have
now (As is, our local indigenous peoples and ag workers get the dubious
benefit of my attention)
