Default Volunteer trips get canceled....

Hello all- Im returning here after a long abesence, and I have a quick question I hope some of you might be able to help with... and not flame me too much

Im very interested in doing a voluntourist like trip this spring, an i know that generally people are very anti the pay option but in my case I dont mind. Ive looked at a few sites that have had trips that I consider affordable and a good blend between adventure and volunteering.... however, none of the trips ever get enough people to go. Ive done a few google searches that really turn up anything worth it...

So my question is if anyone knows any organzations that offer trips like that that actually happen? Im interested in something 3 week ish, and generally in asia... (india, nepal etc).. but would entertain just about anywhere...

Thanks everyone!
