Difficult to help.... (r)



I'd be interested in more information about opportunities to
work on the Thai-Burma border.  I returned in January from
Peace Corps service in Thailand's largest national park, a huge
forest on the border just west of Bangkok.  I worked in a Karen
village in the middle of the park, and was completely enchanted
by my neighbors there.  My primary project focussed on helping
them remain in the valley they had inhabited for no one knows
how long.  From the village it was four days' walk to the 
border, but I never had the chance to go.

Could you let me know what sort of opportunities might be 
available for a person like me, with eclectic interests and 
skills?  I have worked as a field biologist, environmental 
technician/planner, and am presently working as an educator.  I 
have some computer skills, nothing fancy, and speak Thai 
comfortably, for what that's worth.  Not sure when or exactly 
how I would be available, but I would like to know what kind of 
projects there might be.  

I always enjoy your postings.
