CHAPTER 2: VOLUNTEER VACATIONS & WHO VOLUNTEERS?
VOLUNTEER VACATIONS
The history of the term volunteer vacations is hard to define as it is a relatively new term in the English lexion.The American government recognized the positive effect on its own citizens and the world when it was created. This government organization, the ‘the Peace Corps traces its roots and mission 1960.The interest in volunteer vacations has surged dramatically. Even a short term adventure volunteering can change the life and perspective on the world. And a few things we can give a greater feeling of meaning and a greater understanding of a culture.
I thinks about this article because many people have been volunteering for years, whether in their neighborhoods, their hometown, and even internationally. The Red Cross, since 1881,has organized volunteer relief efforts, Habitat for Humanity and Doctors Without Borders have been in existence since 1970.The Peace Corps volunteer commit a noble 27 months of their life to their on site experience. The median age of the typical Peace Corps volunteer is 25,6% are over 50,91% are single. So many good things have come from Peace Corps volunteers. And many Globe Aware volunteers are returned Peace Corps volunteers. And we already done lots of traditional travel, particularly organized group travel to try volunteer vacations as an alternative way to experience and most importantly help the world.
