Life-enhancing travel experiences happen, but cannot be
bought for any amount
of money. Invariably they occur when our guests and local communities come
together with mutual respect. A common task or goal, as simple as serving
lunch to 500 orphans, or as labor-intensive as building a new roof for a
school, is another powerful catalyst fostering true cultural exchange and
therefore life-enhancing experiences. Active, results-based contribution
in communities we visit & work in is terribly important to all parties,
and you can join us. WE ARE NOT A VOLUNTEER PLACEMENT ORGANIZATION,
BUT RATHER A PRIVATE TOUR COMPANY PROVIDING LIFE-ENHANCING TRAVEL EXPERIENCES.
NOTE ON COSTS: Volunteering with North by North East COSTS
THE SAME OR LESS than a standard tour or adventure. Families,
couples & small groups generally
allow us to plan some such element in their program (1/2 day or more).
University student groups often require a 2-3 week intensive volunteer
program! In all these cases volunteer activities cost less than others.

and Elephant Parasitologists, Water or Irrigation Experts, and others
