Default I'm boooored

So, I'm over the year mark here and the initial "thrill" is gone. Now I need something to do. I cannot work because I work in NYC 12 days out of the month, and I highly doubt that any job here is going to match what I make there. I have found in the last month that with my boredom I am starting to nag my boyfriend and get on my children's nerves.
I need a hospital, orphanage, business, or something where I can volunteer (that means non-paid) for about 4 hours a day when I am here. Anybody know of anything? Obviously, I am here in Santiago...
I am a L&D RN in the states so maybe a Pre-natal clinic or MD office or SOMETHING...I am about to die. Theres got to be an Orphanage or something that needs help changing stinky diapers
Free....

Go over to the Juan XXIII Clinic over in Peking and talk to the PUCMM med students there. You can probably help a bit in your area... Also an orphanage called Imaculada Concepcion in Arroyo Hondo off of Jacinto Dumit (I think)....I can take you there.

There are lots of other places, too for you to do well. I can ask my son about Nursing at HOMS for example...

perhaps there are some courses you can go on to prevent you being bored.

The next closest thing to volunteering is working at the public hospital in Santiago. If interested let me know and I'll put you in contact with the sis in law.

I too am bored, I feel like I am drowning – I went from working all day to doing absolutely nothing. At least you get to go into civilization twelve days out of the month. I get to stay in this hell whole everyday of the month. I tried to volunteer but that is a joke in this place, they will look at you like you have five heads. They want your money more than they want your services. Everything here is about the money.
