What can you do to help children like this? It’s not as hard as you might think and TRAVEL THERAPY shows you how in the last two posts….Just check out VOLUNTEER VACATIONS and TRAVEL THERAPY IN AFRICA. If your usual vacation plans include a beach and an umbrella drink consider changing things up a bit and trying a volunteer vacation where you can help change lives and learn more about yourself than you could ever imagine.

If you’re trying to plan a summer trip with your teenagers they’ll remember forever and truly appreciate volunteer vacations can be the perfect way to open their eyes to the world outside where they live and spend quality time together as a family.

Giving up the beach vacation isn’t easy, I know, but then it’s not suppose to be.

For more on how you can help by taking a volunteer vacation check out the long list of destinations you can travel to at Ambassadors for Children, a not for profit organization dedicated to helping children worldwide. This heartfelt photograph was taken by one of the members of AFC, Kelly Campbell.

Taking my own advice, TRAVEL THERAPY is headed to Africa this summer for two weeks so stay tuned for those posts coming up! I challenge you…what will you do to make a difference? I would love to hear your story or your ideas!
