Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

"The Opportunity of a Lifetime"

A magazine advertisement with the title

Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflected by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used.

In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis supports the claim of each argument. Be sure to state each argument's claim and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis.

Response

The text highlights that voluntourism is a dangerous trend that can negatively impact local communities more than it helps. In several instances, the author points out that while you do great things like helping at animal sanctuaries or orphanages when you visit foreign places. But in reality, the local people are suffering. The author uses the example "they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers" which really highlights the way voluntourists can actually prevent communities from flourishing in their own rights. And what for, to give the voluntourists a good time and an opportunity to be a good person. Similarly, the advertisement promises an "opportunity of a lifetime" for the voluntourists, but it lacks an explanation as to how you're actually helping those places. Instead, it lists off options as something fun for the voluntourists to do with their time. Another example in the advertisement is when it says "Then leave the challenges of the day and enjoy the sights and new friends by night." which highlights the notion that voluntourism is just a way for you to look good while traveling, as mentioned in the article as well.

Examine the differing attitudes toward marriage that Wilder shows in Act II.
Throughout this act, there are many attitudes displayed about what marriage is all about. "There are a lot of things to be said about a wedding; there are a lot of thoughts that go on during a wedding . . . there's a lot of confusion way down deep in people's minds and we thought that ought to be in our play, too." These different attitudes are demonstrated throughout the act by Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, George, Emily, Mrs. Soames, the baseball players, and the Stage Manager. Write an essay explaining how any three characters demonstrate differing attitudes about marriage. Include your perspective on how true or accurate these perspectives are on marriage today. Do not just quote their words; explain what "truth" each character tells about marriage.
