5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely Overview of International Volunteering January 12, 2009
Format:Paperback
This is the perfect title for those looking for international volunteer opportunities. I found the listings to be well categorized and written and the book to be an inspiring read over all. In terms of a single-volume jumping off point to inspire potential volunteers into service, this is an excellent guide. My only complaint might be that the information about traveling is a bit basic for a seasoned traveler, but maybe its designed for younger people volunteering before college. Overall, highly recommended.

From planning either a short- or a long-term travel volunteer experience to outlines of websites, jobs, eligibility, and costs, this is, quite simply, a 'must' for any would-be travel volunteer or libraries catering to travelers.
