Voluntourism with Planeterra

where travellers who've been to a project share their stories

People that take visit one of our projects during their travels are often inspired to share their story because their experience was so meaningful.

Sometimes it was the volunteering, working with on a community project, seeing exotic wildlife for the first time, trying out new food. Most often though it is the connections made with local people that makes the long lasting memories, and desire to return, or to maintain contact.

Some travellers have been so inspired by the community project that they have raised funds to bring down, or have purchased needed supplies to deliver on arrival.  Others get together with other people on the trip and make a big donation after they get back.

These generous travellers share their stories because they have experienced something unforgettable, and they want the world to know!
