Never before has tourism been quite so vital. With almost zero volunteer travel since March 2020, our projects are now open, fully Covid-prepared and waiting to welcome volunteers. With travel slowly opening up for many, and vaccination programmes moving forward, our partners desperately need volunteers to arrive.
We are now offering some of our most wonderful discounts ever! If you can travel, never has there been such a good time to grab yourself a bargain! With volunteer travel allowed in many places, perhaps the time to escape lockdown is getting closer!
