Copyright © Go Differently

In Volume 6 Issue 1 of our quarterly newsletter, we answer the question: What Is VolunTourism, Really? in our "Letter From The Publisher."

Our first feature discusses Destination Recovery & VolunTourism: What Did We Learn In Decade 1.0 That Can Be Applied in Haiti, And Now, Chile?.

The second feature asks a different question regarding the upcoming European Year of Volunteering (EYV 2011): What Impact, If Any, Will 'EYV 2011' Have On VolunTourism?.

In this issue's Columns, Wisdom & Insight comes from Caitlin Sislin who discusses her work with Women's Earth Alliance. This issue's 3Q's are answered by Sue Stephenson, Vice President Community Footprints at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC. The Supply Chain introduces us to the work of Bodhi Garrett, Founder of Andaman Discoveries, while VT-Lines takes a closer look at our Quest for a better understanding of VolunTourism.
