I have this kernel of a romantic dream of flying
around Africa for a couple of years for some relief
agency or something.
How does one go about finding this kind of work? What
do I need to do first? JAA/JAR? How much time? Where
is this kind of work posted?
Ideas and opinions are welcome.

Hmmmm, according to Walt, who posts over at RAH, and who used to fly
for Southern Air Transport, a lot of the dirt runways in Africa had
unexploded ordinance buried in them from previous skirmishes... ya
might want to ask him about that (doesn't sound very romantic to me.)
My old co-pilot hit a mine while taxiing along a dirt runway in a
C-130 there and still has health problems from injuries she sustained.
But then again, that was a lot of years ago. I say: ask the
missionaries over at the religious NG's. Nothing scares them, and I'm
sure they are still operating there.
Good Luck,
