Read the article! Join the discussion on Facebook! Can short-term volunteer work in orphanages be detrimental?
Are there ways to reduce the disadvantages of short term volunteering?
Who is benefiting from volunteering abroad?
If you were a policy advisor, what type of policy would you suggest the South African government take in order to protect children from potential harm?
Do organizations organizing/facilitating such volunteering opportunities have a responsibility to tell participants of potential harm they could be doing?
What other questions does this issue bring to mind?
We'd love to hear your thoughts: http://www.facebook.com/?tid=1695076981334&sk=messages#!/group.php?gid=2517975942
