Voluntourism on the Rise: More Links

Username By Joshua | October 26th, 2006 | Comments 1 Comment »

Here’s a great resource: Travel With A Challenge has all kinds of articles and links on volunteering abroad, especially for families and mature travelers. I like the way the article, “Volunteer Vacations are Contagious,” by Mary Jo Pehl, deals with the transformative nature of volunteering.

“Everyone is idealistic at first on these trips”, Ricki reflected. “Then you see real life with real people with real problems on their own territory.”

Bonus links at the bottom of the page go to Voluntourists Without Borders and The Land Conservancy.

based on the overland concept of traveling through africa on a modified truck, the trip combines adventure travel with short term missions and community projects.
