International social work

I'm applying for Doctor's without Borders, but in the chance that I do not get accepted, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a similar secular, humanitarian-aid, non-governmental organization that employs social workers ("mental health specialists").

I'm looking for a 9 month commitment or so (could be shorter, but I'll commit for that long).

Thanks in advanced!

    Lizette,

    I too have been searching for social work/pyschology work overseas. I haven't had much luck myself. You can look on the Red Cross website. They have quite a bit there, as well as the UN and WHO. Good Luck. Let me know how you do.

      i am in Orissa in India. Here i am working in a NGO who works in tribal areas in Similipal tiger resrve forest area and also in Sunderban delta. also there are some other good organisation like Gram Vikas, CYSD in Orissa. i have seen some volunteers worked here in CYSD and Gram vikas too. if possible go through their website.
