Voluntourism

"Voluntourism is travel which includes volunteering for a charitable cause. In recent years, "bite-sized" volunteer vacations have grown in popularity. The types of volunteer vacations are diverse, from low-skill work with children in humanitarian camps or providing high-skill medical aid in Haiti. Volunteer vacations participants are diverse but typically share a desire to “do something good” while also experiencing new places and challenges in locales they might not otherwise visit."(Wikipedia)

The Village Experience- Jacmel Volunteer Trip

The Village Experience is designed to educate and expose Westerners to other cultures and global issues through its intense and highly interactive cultural trips. These trips highlight local experiences, adventures, humanitarian work, environmental education, and sight seeing. The important thing is that the traveler takes something away from this experience that will change their life and the lives of those around them.

Through responsible tourism, Haiti has the potential to start over after the devastating earthquake and develop a thriving and sustainable economy. Be one of the first responsible tourists to Haiti and do your part to make a positive impact on the rebuilding efforts of this much deserving country and its warm, welcoming people.

Elevate Haiti - Jacmel Volunteer Trip
A National Geographic Traveler Magazine- “Tour of a Lifetime” 

Join Elevate Destinations in Jacmel, Haiti for a volunteer experience with a major impact. The Trinity House supports children that are orphans or were victims of child slavery. In addition to housing, feeding and educating these children, Trinity House has expanded services to also include a day school called Lekol Sen Trinite serving the poorest children in the neighborhood who would never have a chance to become educated without this program. Trinity House was in mid-construction of classrooms and a computer room for the free community school when the earthquake hit.
