Joining The Webcast As A Guest

Some of you may want to be a guest on the show.

We know that there are many topics to be covered. Numerous organizations are doing great work in locations around the world. Travelers (VolunTourists) have wonderful stories, or not-so-wonderful stories, to tell about their experiences on a VolunTourism journey. Some individuals have pioneered new approaches and techniques to programming to ensure greater responsibility and accountability at the community level. And certainly, there are those who question this evolving "industry" and it is important to here their voices as well.
