World Expeditions - Community Project Travel Brochure

World Expeditions has a vision - to make the world a better place for people in need. Voluntourism; Eco Tourism - no matter what you call it, they would like to invite you to share in this vision.

Community Project Travel (CPT) is a unique 'philanthropy' program that they have operated since 2005, functioning entirely as a 'not-for profit' division of our company. The program offers purposeful voluntourism style adventures for everyday travellers, where the main objective is to improve the lives of other people or the environment in a meaningful and sustainable way.

In consultation with their local operators from around the world - together with community leaders - they've identified a long list of very worthwhile community projects and initiatives. The projects below are their immediate priorities for 2010/11. In each case, the affected community receives little or no government funding, and coupled with the dire economic predicament of these areas, makes their assistance so essential. It is important to them that the projects are sustainable, in that the work is started and then completed by the time they leave the community, which results in both an immediate and longer-term tangible benefit.

No skills are required to join their Community Projects; you just need to pack an open mind and a keenness to commit to physical work in a team environment.
