Oceania: Year Teaching... Possible?

I'm taking my family abroad for a year; my wife and I have six university degrees between us (sounds snooty, eh?) and tons of experience with adult education, community development and the like (i.e. we would probably be attractive to educational / development folk). However, I don't want to go abroad and work like crazy. God no! A small project that immerses us into the local population would be great, a few hours a day.... but not the kind of voluntourism that takes jobs from locals.

The South Pacific calls....

The lovely question I get to ponder is: WHERE?

Ideas?

I'd, optimally, want my kids to go to a local school, be it a building, shed or just a yard where kids tend whatever is tended and learn as we did before formalized education... in short, I don't seek a full-on ex-pat thing by any means.

Have lived in Asia for four years and am open to tips there too.... Penang beckons, as does Sri Lanka, maybe Laos...where else? An island somewhere is the most appealing destination...

Worried about visas too.

Starting early.

Getting ideas.

Wishing you all well, and thanks in advance

you would need to contact a local authority in the country of your choice, in order to get a residence and working visa, even for volunteer work.
In the Pacific, often churches can sponsor you, if you have a church connection.

If you are looking at french speaking countries (your other post), then the Pacific has a few options and would probably be among the more relaxed options of places to go (parts of Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia).

But HOW to get into French Polynesia... or the others? This is the nut I must crack...
