Voluntourism on a Budget

Sunday April 15, 2007
A growing number of travelers are seeking more than just relaxing getaways--they want to spend at least some of their time helping the people and places they visit. It's become known as "voluntourism" and it is a growth industry. You can do it without breaking your travel budget. Whether you're thinking about time in New Orleans or a remote location far from the headlines, it's worth considering ways to help others on your next trip.
