GAP TRAVEL

A different type of gap travel opportunity exists in these countries. There are no paid work opportunities, but gap travellers could volunteer as teachers or community workers in many poor regions of these, the poorest of European countries.

Moldova in particular needs a great deal of help from gap travellers, as the volunteer network is not very well developed. Romania still has many orphanages and under-developed children as a consequence of neglect from the government, and gap travel participants can play a big part here.
