HOLIDAY HELP: see the world and change it!

What’s a voluntourist?
EE
You know what a tourist is. And you’ve probably heard of
FR
volunteers (people who help others for free). Voluntourists are
people who travel to a different place in their holidays to provide
aid after a natural disaster or help a local community.
What’s Holiday Help?
Since 2001, Holiday Help has offered voluntourist programmes for
14- to 18-year-old students at home and abroad. For 2–4 weeks, you can
live with a host family and do a programme of social or environmental
work. All you need is a backpack, your toothbrush and a positive
attitude! We have programmes in North and South America, Africa,
Asia, Europe and Australia.

Sometimes it’s hard to keep a normal distance from people. This

or in a lift.
