Ethical volunteering was set up and is run by Dr. Kate Simpson. Kate has been working in and researching international volunteering since 1998. In this time she has run international volunteering projects, completed a PhD (at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne) on the gap year, international volunteering and its impacts on participants and provided training to a range of organisations.  jugar casino online

As a result of all this work Kate became increasingly aware that while there were some excellent international volunteer programmes, there are also some terrible ones. online casino
Problems range from volunteers who are imposed on host communities, to projects that turn out not to exist, to volunteers who exploit their hosts hospitality to projects that are a waste of everyone's time and money. apuestas online

So based on Kate's PhD research she produced 'The ethical volunteering guide' to try and help potential volunteers identify the good projects out there. online casino portugal
