Planeterra offers gift ideas with a worldwide benefit
If you’re looking forward to doing some voluntourism in 2011 and want to make this Christmas a charitable affair, then Planeterra can help, with a range of gifts that offer support to communities in need across the globe.
Through local organizations, international charities, and travel industry partners, Planeterra has developed a network of over 50 community projects around the world that focus on education, local development and conservation.
Once such example is the New Hope Cambodia Outreach Centre in Siem Reap, which is a community centre providing free education and training to local young people, many of whom do not have access to public schooling.
For $20 (£13) a child receives uniforms and supplies required to attend school, while $35 (£23) provides a child with a bicycle to get them to class on time.
Planeterra provides the opportunity to make donations on behalf of friends and family. After making your online donation you can download a card for the recipient. For more information or other gift ideas, visit: www.planeterra.org
