Hands Up Holidays (www.handsupholidays.com) has released its voluntourism itineraries for Christmas and New Year that combine meaningful adventure with a taste of volunteering. These volunteer vacations are suitable even if guests do not have specific skills, but have a lot of enthusiasm.
Many travellers are looking for a sense of purpose in their leisure activities, and considering the gradual transformation from the age of cheque book philanthropy into the age of participatory philanthropy, Hands Up Holidays offers various voluntourism itineraries that blend sightseeing with taste of volunteering activities including repair and renovations, building houses, environmental conservation, and teaching to make every vacation a meaningful travel adventure.
Hands Up Holidays arranges amazing Christmas New Year trips in South Africa, India and Morocco which benefit local communities and leave participants with a sense of connection, meaning, and accomplishment.
Christmas New Year Vacation projects cover a broad range – from serving AIDS orphans in and around Cape Town, to the construction of new rooms in a school in the remote, non-touristic Berber village south-west of Marrakech; or conservation of the wildlife and flora of the unique eco system of the Sunderbans in India.
These voluntourism itineraries all last from 9-11 days; accommodations may be a room in a fashionable villa or a village guesthouse.
Extension trips are available in both South Africa and India.
Tailor-made volunteering trips can also be arranged to these and other destinations.
Guests must be at least 18 years old to participate in Christmas New Years trips, unless accompanied by their parents or a guardian. The Morocco trip and the India trip are especially popular as family volunteering trips, which serve also as family bonding adventures that also provide the opportunity for children to interact with another culture in a safe context.
