"Lonely Planet's" volunteering handbook offers insights, advice and practical information on making a difference with your travels. It is arranged by type of experience (such as organised, structured and self-funding, and do-it-yourself) rather than simply listing organisations in alphabetical order. More than just a directory, this book uses personal accounts of volunteer experiences, reviews of volunteering organisations and images of travellers working and learning in communities in the developing world to inspire and motivate the reader to explore a unique kind of travel experience. It covers both formal, long- and short-term placements with volunteer organisations, and also provides information on how to plan, raise funds and implement your own volunteer experience, or even start your own grass roots charity. It provides a balanced look at the fun and the responsibilities involved in volunteering and tackles complex ethical issues with an intelligent, politically aware audience in mind. This book will lead the traveller well and truly off the beaten track.
