We've recently arrived, and I am looking to put my writing and advocacy skills to work with a reputable humanitarian organization. I'm wondering how I can go about finding the right one. Any suggestions?

you might find something useful on the NVPC's bulletin board http://www1.nvpc.org.sg/sub_page.asp?pid=77&sid=222 or you can try their ematch system. Are there any particular causes that you are interested to help? I might be able to throw up a few names if you could specify your interests. |

Thanks for the link. I've looked at the site, and it seems to be mostly local charities listed. I'm interested in international poverty issues. Any further suggestions?

Thank you for the recommendations. I will look those organizations up in the next few weeks. Does anyone know if UNICEF has an office in Singapore?

Unifem has an office here, and I'm pretty sure they are looking for writers.
