[) Picture this ins Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with
volunteering Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism seems like a great way to explore now regions and help people at the same time. However, this volunteer plus travel experience can actually harmlocal
communities. While many teens maght view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference
21 Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the chidren you are helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to
come to the local area? Dale Rolle, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal Sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist encouraging a cycle of
exploring the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help
13) Proponents of the volunteer plus traver experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants ohen
pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers
(Schuiten Or they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated
take, and structured experiences and seing them as unabridged and eye opening (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting
change is not achieved
141 lt you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local communky Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue
Serve monthly dinners to the homeless Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive mpact on your
physical and emotional health In fact blood pressure is reduced memory is improved and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels)
Is There is another reason to look mo alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average voluntour travel package costs $3,400 (Rotte)? Could that travel money be better spent? it the world's citizens are your
passion could go to an international organization If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local
forts to dig well if you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country a guest and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour
si in really, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but a does ieme except provide a costy, superficial experience that might
ac do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and
send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put to good use Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation
