What are some good overseas free volunteer programs?


What are some good overseas free volunteer programs?
I would like to do some volunteer work overseas. I would like to go for about two months, I don't have much money so nothing like Cross-Cultural solutions where you have to pay more than a thousand dollars to volunteer. I am currently a student, and wish to go to possibly Africa, South America, or Asia (in that order). Thanks for all the help.

www.i-to-i.com (i think). they have plently of opportunities. or you could google it :) see if your local council has any information as they often get government info saying where volunteers can go. or research gap year placements. i think you are likely to have to pay something, as it is rarely free for these things, but you could get sponsored? I have a friend who went to Tanzania to build a school and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. They were sponsored by everyone they knew and through the internet and fundraising. They eventually got the money to do it, and made a real difference, so you could try something like that?
