Review
Lonely Planet's new book "Volunteer" can point you in the direction of more meaningful travel..." --The London Times, July 14, 2007
Product Description
"Lonely Planet's" volunteering handbook offers insights, advice and practical information on making a difference with your travels. It is arranged by type of experience (such as organised, structured and self-funding, and do-it-yourself) rather than simply listing organisations in alphabetical order. More than just a directory, this book uses personal accounts of volunteer experiences, reviews of volunteering organisations and images of travellers working and learning in communities in the developing world to inspire and motivate the reader to explore a unique kind of travel experience. It covers both formal, long- and short-term placements with volunteer organisations, and also provides information on how to plan, raise funds and implement your own volunteer experience, or even start your own grass roots charity. It provides a balanced look at the fun and the responsibilities involved in volunteering and tackles complex ethical issues with an intelligent, politically aware audience in mind. This book will lead the traveller well and truly off the beaten track.

Format:Paperback
Bit disapointed with this book. I bought it for my sister when she went on her year out. I had a similar book when I was her age and it was great giving a range of options in order of price (some of them you actually got paid for!) I thought everything is this book looked like an advertisement for some project you could pay to work on and some of them where quite substantial amounts. At least it gives you n idea of where to start looking

A Lovely Overview of International Volunteering
13 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
This is the perfect title for those looking for international volunteer opportunities. I found the listings to be well categorized and written and the book to be an inspiring read over all. In terms of a single-volume jumping off point to inspire potential volunteers into service, this is an excellent guide. My only complaint might be that the information about traveling is a bit basic for a seasoned traveler, but maybe its designed for younger people volunteering before college. Overall, highly recommended.

Great little handbook

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This little book is a great acquisition, it's compact, has information about organizations all over the world that have this kind of programs, each organization has a summary about the organization it self, costs, requirements and another useful information.
I haven't gone anywhere yet, but I think this book is a great tool to explore your options !

About this guide
26 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This is a great guide for who want to help others and give themselves a cause to support, but the only problem is that the words are so small they had so much information to give, instead of expanding the book they squeezed it into this book that fits in your back pocket.
