Ben, it's a brilliant idea - I've been mulling over how we might bring volunteer-tourists into our project in Kenya, and have been researching ethical volunteer tourism a bit.

Jon, I am interested in hearing more about your idea of volunteer tourism. I have envisioned myself and my children spending a year or two in various places learning and teaching the local youth. My problem with this idea has been that I am not University educated and have not been able to attach myself to any agency that would sponsor my family. I know in my heart I can be of use in any region throughout the globe. Its just a matter of finding someone to believe in me enough to put this idea into a working reality.
