Dear Colleague:
My name is PEdro de Macedo and I am the recruiter at Relief
International in
Los Angeles. Im writing to ask for help in recruiting social workers
interested in going to Albania. We are currently providing health and
sanitation work in ALbania and wish to push for social work, mental
health
and education. We are in desperate need to to get the word out to social
workers in the world about volunteer and paid positions. Our web page is
www.ri.org <http://www.ri.org>
My email is pedro@ri.org <mailto:pedro@ri.org> . My tel is 310-572-7770
and
my fax 310-572-7790. I would be very appreciative if you could help me
suggest where I could advertise in the US and overseas or key contacts.
                                Sincerely,

                                Pedro de Macedo
                                Recruiter for Relief International
