RE: Does volunteering do more harm than good?

About time that something like this appears and you have certainly done a good job! Another issue to consider is "False promises" Don't tell a youngster in a developing country that you will take him to your nice country for a visit when you return and then you are never seen again! Please abstain from any doubtful commitments! Sorry, but we had a couple of volunteers in the past and I felt the urge to share this! Your post is great! Congrats!

Sort:  

I very much agree with your comment. Working in a school/orphanage amplifies the risk of these 'false promises' taking place and so extra care is required here.

Thank you very much for you kind words @papilloncharity, I did have a reasonable look around Steemit and didn't find much on this subject from this angle.

Cheers!

My pleasure! Blessings to you! Stephen
