Description

Going to another country to volunteer in an 'orphanage' may seem like a kind and generous thing to do. However, it's essential to consider the unintended consequences of such actions. This book provides insight into the complexities of volunteering in these settings and offers suggestions for supporting children in more ethical ways. When volunteering abroad, it can be easy to become swept up in the enthusiasm of the local children, who may eagerly accept gifts or attention from visitors. But beneath this surface-level kindness lies a more nuanced reality. This book pulls back the veil on the unintended consequences of such actions and provides a thoughtful exploration of how to make a positive impact. By examining the complexities of volunteering in 'orphanages', Florence Koenderink offers a valuable resource for anyone considering getting involved in similar work.
