Wanting to do more to help others

So the other night I was watching this movie called Smile:Sheltered and privileged in sunny California, Katie's (Mika Boorem) perspective on life changes when she travels to China and meets Lin (Yi Ding), who hides her face because of a severe deformity. Brought together by a volunteer medical program, the young girls learn they share a birthday -- and a need to connect despite their divergent cultures. Sean Astin, Beau Bridges and Linda Hamilton co-star in this affecting coming-of-age drama.

I just loved this movie it made me wake up and realize that I need to be doing more it also got me thinking about my mom and how she use to volunteer at and for different things when she was alive, she use to get me involved with it as well and I never argued with her about going along I enjoyed it in fact I miss it!!! Begin in health care  I would love to get involved with something again to help people in other countries that need help but I don't know where to start looking as the web can be full of scams like that. I will have to google and ask questions or if anyone know of where to look let me know. doing it for free is nice but I would also not mind getting paid either to do both
