 Voluntourism
 Every year thousands of people take time out from their work or studies and travel abroad. Some of

developing countries with local projects. This new way of travel is called ‘voluntourism’.
 According to a recent travel survey, 25% of young people are interested in voluntourism. 
Organizations like BUNAC and Raleigh International match people to projects around the world. These 
organizations make a big difference in countries where children don’t go to school, or people don’t have
