My daughter is looking to do some overseas work in Africa during summer 2012 and has been told of the above website. Anybody heard anything/hand any experience of it. She has seen a couple of opportunities she fancies but has to sort the funds out to "pay to go on it". That bit isn't an issue, but with some of the other opportunities she has been quoted for, it seems very cheap.

    All these companies are out to make a profit, rather understandably. Being the middle-man means they can take quite a large cut. I'd suggest looking on The Student Room for experiences of these companies, and for some possible alternatives such as BUNAC.
