Description
In this turbulent and ever-changing world, increasing numbers of people are looking for ways to make the most of their holidays -- simultaneously getting away and using their talents to improve the world. This comprehensive guide shows how a short-term volunteer stint can transform participants as much as the people, animals, or ecology they help. This updated eighth edition profiles over 200 organisations and thousands of opportunities around the world and in the United States. The adventures include rehabilitating sick and injured wild animals in South Africa, protecting sea turtle nests in Greece, organising community health events with the Sioux in South Dakota, and teaching English in Nepal. Each listing includes contact information and e-mail and Web addresses as well as project locations, costs, dates, and details on the work available. Twenty new stories from volunteers help readers fully imagine what their vacation will be like.
