Are you a Philanthropic Traveler?
Many of the most exotic, exclusive and culturally desirable destinations are located within close proximity of communities that have a real need. Philanthropic travel incorporates a visit to those areas and the opportunity to participate with the people on a very personal level. Enjoy a morning or afternoon visit to a local village, school, orphanage, medical clinic or food distribution point, and perhaps offer a hand on a worthwhile project such as painting a school or building a clinic.
Your participation will expand your framework of reality, as you and the grateful people you will meet share magical moments with one another. A very small donation of your time or resources can make a significant contribution to the standard of living for people in the countries you visit. In countries like Burma, Cambodia, Guatemala, Botswana, Vietnam, Tanzania, and Ecuador, $2 a day is an average wage.
Pro-active philanthropic traveler's can make a tax deductible donation (USA) to fund a project that they will bring their family to see in the future, a powerful way to illustrate generosity in action to our children. The Philanthropic Travel Foundation can preserve world heritage, the surrounding environment, create schools, medical clinics, water treatment centers, orphanages, create jobs… as you wish.
