Posted by mariannewiseman on 31/1/2010 at 09:29From PEPY TOurs - you can google them Speaking as one who has worked with UNICEF and Save the Children, I would caution against 'amateur volunteerism'.

Whose needs are being served? Speaking as an English teacher, sorry, but unqualified people who do short term conversation with students - anywhere, not just ...

Never one to be "voyeuristic" in the sense of just going for a look, I ...
