Did you know that you can actually have fun while making a contribution to a cause?
It is possible with volunteer travel or what others refer to as volunteer tourism. There are many non-profit organizations in the Philippines and around the world that can help you make this possible. For a minimal fee, you get to immerse in a local community and work for a cause. This way you are not only travelling to enjoy new places but you get to help out a cause close to your heart.
Travelling is not just about enriching your experience because with volunteer travelling you can actually shoot two birds in one stone.
The secret is knowing where to look, for starters Handsonmanila is one of those sites that will help you out in choosing the appropriate cause. If you need more help on organizations around the country that will let you work and volunteer for them, simply email gmmurgirl@gmail.com.
