Voluntourism gives people a chance to see the world while making a difference. It’s important when evaluating the who, what, where, how, and why of volunteer travel to ask the question: Who is this charity work actually helping? Projects should be picked by the tangible benefits they provide to local communities, as well as their cost, location, and, of course, the visitor experience. Arm yourself with the necessary information to make thoughtful, ethical decisions about where and how to allocate your service.
