Every year more and more young people go abroad to do volunteer work: building schools, taking care of orphans and teaching English, all with high hopes of contributing to a better world. There is a growing debate around the actual impact of this trend. All good intentions aside, what impact do these projects have on the ground, and can we achieve our idealistic goals through this type of work?
