Voluntourism is a popular way to volunteer time and resources abroad. It is usually when an individual combines travel with some form of volunteer work. Listen in to understand the intricacies of these voluntourism opportunities and to learn that, despite best intentions, these trips are usually harmful. Emily speaks from the point of view of a physiotherapist who participated in a volunteer trip for 3 months in Nepal. Dr. Mohan Sharma speaks from the perspective of a neurosurgeon who works at a teaching hospital in Nepal. The combination of their insights from both sides of the coin are invaluable. I’m so proud of this episode – please, please have a listen! I wish this was information that every single person knew before considering on an international volunteer mission.
