Qualified First Aider, have used basic skills in martial arts when injuries have occured.
Oh also, student librarian for a few months. Quit when i realised how depressing it was :s
Spent two weeks in ghana over the summer as previously mentioned, teaching kids at a local school, we had to come up with our own lessons and everything, had no supervision etc, so was quite an experience.
