A Lovely Overview of International Volunteering, Jan 12 2009
By Paul Rogech - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Volunteer 1st Ed.: A Traveller's Guide to Making a Difference Around the World, 1st edition (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.

This little book is a great acquisition, it's compact, has information about organizations all over the world that have this kind of programs, each organization has a summary about the organization it self, costs, requirements and another useful information.I haven't gone anywhere yet, but I think this book is a great tool to explore your options !

About this guide, Jan 25 2011
By Brandon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet Volunteer 2nd Ed.: A Traveller's Guide to Making a Difference Around the World (Paperback)
This is a great guide for who want to help others and give themselves a cause to support, but the only problem is that the words are so small they had so much information to give, instead of expanding the book they squeezed it into this book that fits in your back pocket.
