I have now had the privilege of visiting Tajikistan twice - in 2005 and in 2006. Unlike my other travels which are entirely freelance, I went to Tajikistan as a professional volunteer to assist post-Soviet agricutural irrigation districts in water use planning. Both were 1-month assignments where the vast majority of my energies were directed towards the work, with the exception of my personal visit to the Pamirs.
Two US-based non-profit organizations sponsored my volunteer work: Winrock International (www.winrock.org), and; ACDI/VOCA (www.acdivoca.org). When in Tajikistan, I worked in partnership with a French development non-profit, ACTED (www.acted.org/english).
If you have professional skills that could be of service to less fortunate folks, I urge you to consider volunteer work.
Rob Leutheuser.
