Voluntourism: Enriching Lives by Giving Time Abroad - Kip Patrick & Elizabeth Zipse

National Geographic Traveler "Traveler of the Year" honorees Kip Patrick and Elizabeth Zipse spent 18 months traveling the globe, and on their voyage, at least one day each week, they volunteered to help the people whose country they were visiting. They explain that there are plenty of volunteer opportunities available, from teaching Buddhist monks English in Laos, to picking up trash on the way to Mount Everest's base camp. Patrick and Zipse explain that they don't only volunteer when the travel -- at home, they still give time each week to help where they can. They created an organization, called 1 of 7, that details volunteer opportunities abroad and explains their travel ethos.
