Fundraise and Volunteer Abroad

Is 2012 the year you’ve decided to do something extraordinary? Perhaps you’ve vowed to take a gap year, but want to make it a little more meaningful than just sipping tropical cocktails on a Thai island? With so many countries and communities in need all over the world, volunteer travel (or “voluntourism”) is becoming increasingly more common as an option for travellers. And why not? See the world, help humankind…what’s not to like? But despite the trend being on the rise, it can sometimes be hard to know exactly where to start or how to get going on a meaningful mission.

A good place to start is at the beginning – raising the funds to actually make a difference. i to i Volunteering is offering a helpful hand in this process, and has created a super-handy fundraising guide. This is available to download online.

So for top tips on how to fundraise for a meaningful cause AND a chance of winning a trip, it sounds like the fundraising guide should be at the top of the to-do list for anyone planning to get involved in some volunteering action this year.
