International/Interesting opportunities for low time pilot

I recently received my private pilots license and I'm currently
working on my instrument (will have about 150TT). I'm planning on taking a few years off from the corporate world and I'm interested in seeing a bit more of the world and putting my license to work. Ideally I would love to find an opportunity to help people (humanitarian efforts or working with
NGOs). My understanding is those types of outfits generally only take
pilots with commercial licenses so I would still be interested in
other opportunities to fly remote areas of the world.

I've seen a number of forum discussions regarding low time pilots
gaining hours working in Africa but have not gotten a very good sense
of how difficult it is to hitch up with the right group. I would also
be interested in hearing any ideas for interesting opportunities
outside Africa.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and if anybody knows great
people to speak with about this I would really appreciate any leads.
Thanks!
