I participated in an ISV trip too and would TOTALLY recomend it to anyone who wants to go on an adventure while still feeling like they made a difference in another country.  I went to thailand with them last year and spent two weeks in a villiage for abused and abandoned children teaching english and falling in love.  everyone should do this!!

Wow…That program looks amazing. Such a great way to integrate a volunteer opportunity with an advneture. Thanks for sharing.

I read something about how popular voluntourism is becoming - cool.

You might enjoy this voluntourism opportunity, even if you’re not a surfer: http://www.wavesfordevelopment.org

I went to Costa Rica in 2006 and did sea turtle conservation for 2 weeks and then traveled the whole country, eco friendly, for two weeks.  It’s very well organized and so much fun.  It changed my whole perspective on how important conservation is to our environment.
