Imagine yourself in a schoolroom in one of the most remote regions
of one of the most hard-to-reach countries on earth. Nepal. The
Lower Mustang region to be exact. To reach it takes a 14-hour
flight from New York to Doha, Qatar. Then four hours by air to
Kathmandu. Transfer at one of the world's most dangerous airports
to a 90-minute flight to Pokhara, followed by a jarring, eight-hour
Jeep ride over a vertiginous dirt road - one side is a mountain
wall, the other side a two-hundred foot cliff. Finally you arrive,
but it's not just any schoolroom. It has been converted into an
operating room so that doctors from New York Eye & Ear
Infirmary can provide the gift of sight to 24 Nepalis who were
blind due to advanced cataracts. Jeff Blumenfeld witnessed this
first hand. He was there as a traveler, but also as a volunteer. A
voluntourist. People often wonder how they can explore the world
and help the less fortunate even if they don't possess specialized
skills. These are people who make lousy vacationers. They're bored
sitting on a beach or touring umpteen churches on a cruise ship
excursion. They want a meaningful role when they travel. That's
where voluntourism comes in - a mix of both travel and
volunteering. Is it hard work building wells and schoolhouses or
excavating dinosaur bones? Yes, it is. But voluntourism doesn't
take a particular outdoor skill, just plenty of sweat and the
desire to see the world and leave it a better place. Travel With
Purpose deals not with celebrities, nor the rich and famous.
Instead, it relays examples from Blumenfeld's travels and many
others from Las Vegas to Nepal. From health care facilities to
impoverished schools. These are stories of inspiration from
everyday people, all of whom have definite opinions about the best
way to approach that first volunteer vacation. You don't need to be
wealthy to travel to foreign lands to volunteer; you may not even
have to go to foreign lands, as opportunities may exist within your
own state. Blumenfeld shows readers how to identify the right
location and volunteer situation, how to go about planning trips
and preparing for activities, how to reach out, how to help.
Through vivid examples and first hand stories from both recipients
of volunteer work and the volunteers themselves, Travel with
Purpose may make you rethink your next vacation.
If any of the younger members of the family have ever said that
