Allowing ourselves to question our most deeply-held morals and our vision of how the world works, to be unsettled by what we see and experience in other places, and letting go of the idea that we can always know and do what is best for another community, is maybe the most humble and humbling way that traveling can change the world.

Knowing there was a lot of poverty there, I brought two 50 pound suitcases with me (two are allowed on all international flights). One contained my clothes. The other suitcase was full of cheap t-shirts, children's books (donated by my local library), crayons, coloring books, chalk, balloons, bubbles, paper, scissors, school glue, candies and toothbrushes. Although the Tanzanian wildlife and scenery was nothing short of spectacular, one of the highlights of my trip was delivering my suitcase full of goodies to a local orphanage. If I could do the trip all over, I would have spent more time visiting with the orphanage I went to Tanzania last July for a safari.

There is a site called RezHub.com and they have a Volunteer Travel Hub website where you can add a short-term volunteer opportunity to your vacation. They link you through Volunteer Match and offer options almost anywhere in the US. "Little things" volunteer vacations are catching on as well, for people who don't have a lot of extra time or funds.
