You don't want to miss this program. Our program helped and still helping providing economic growth in most impoverished communities. These are what do: Choosing accommodations that are built with environmental awareness in mind. visiting or volunteering on rural farm communities, volunteering opportunities that focus on off-setting the negative impacts of mass tourism and modernization, encourages positive experience for our volunteers as well as hosts; minimizes the impact of tourism on the environment (campaign against deforestation, encouraging reforestation, managing waste and plastics); boost employment and financial opportunities for local people and encourages conservation by providing financial benefits in its favour
