Issues with “Voluntourism”
https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/what-is-the-difference-between-voluntourism-and-volunteering
● Shor t Term - lack of sustainabi l i ty precludes m eaningfu l change/continui ty
● Group Or iented - l im i ted buy-in fr om com m unity, lack of cul tural com petency
● No or l im i ted exper t ise required - unequipped to capably identi fy & address issues
● Com pany leads paying par t icipants - pr im ary m otive is profi t , not global heal th
● Em phasis on par t icipant exper ience - ignores real i ty of heal th dispar i t ies
