What a load of rubbish. I can't disagree more with the view that volunteering is a waste of time or just a money making venture. I'm sure it can be but that doesn't mean it has to be.
I volunteered on my trip a couple of years ago, enjoyed every second of, was happy that my money was going to a good cause and hope I did more good than harm.
Volunteering can use your skills, I'm a teacher, so I taught in south Africa. Not taking jobs from anyone. And I helped on conservation projects in Central America, again, not taking anyone's work.
I wonder sometimes if comments like the ones I read above are made by people who want to discredit voluteering to make themselves feel better?
I'm not saying volunteering solves the worlds problems but with a little research a biker can enhance their journey, make a positive difference and learn something. That's got to be better than just being negative...
