  There is a new positive trend in travelling, which is called Volontourism: Community Based Projects help to develop mutual relationships between local populations and their visitors. Both parties benefit from these actions, and the results might be as what is reported in this video; I have participated to one of their projects, and I am proud to say that I have but good memories of my trip; Sometimes being confined in five stars hotel is not worthy, and discovering a different culture doesn’...

  mmmm... smells like self-promotion to me. Adventure travel can do more harm than luxury travel, where at least the fumbling tourists stay within the confines of their five star hotels.

  I enjoyed the movie so much. It really is nice to see the people enjoying themselves. It makes me want to go!

• randym (40 months ago)

  I just finished watching the video and I loved it, what a wonderful trip and great shots. Thanks for sharing with me and I will make sure to forward it to my friends.

  I really enjoyed your video and how you were involved with the people. You can really see the passion you have for the people themselves. Dont worry about the comments made by pixelmill and cameragirlnyc....pretentious and self righteous. And from NYC?? Who would of thought!! Great video!

• pixelmill (40 months ago)

  Don't really get this one....is it an ad for a tour company? there seems to be nothing about the "experience" - it's all in the images of "primitive" people who dance a lot. I'm sure it was a good trip - but this video doesn't have a lot of structure.......It seems a bit unconnected to the people's experience itself.

  (con't again) ish writer Leslie Woodhead on this topic... anywya, i'm probably going to be kicked off this site soon for my long comments, so i'm signing off. bon voyage a tous!

• cameragirlnyc (40 months ago)

  (con't) et oui, denisami, j'ai fait aussi les voyages que j'ai cru utile dans ma vie, mais maintenant je ne suis pas si sur. C'est pour cette raison que j'ai decide a faire un film plus...comique. Plus a propos les gens de l'ouest qui viennent a l'est pour tant de raisons compliques. (excuse mon francais affruex) Well, i have a lot more to say ont his topic but this is not the space. maybe I'll write about it sometime on my site. There was also a great article in Departures magazine by Brit...

  glad i stirred some controversy. i think help is the key word here. who is helping whom, really? as i wrote below, i have been involved in various so called helpful activities, working with ngos in africa and asia over the past decade. I spent 2 years teaching kids in india in 1997-99. in the end of all that it strikes me that i get all the credit for helping them when really i don't know if my presense really helped;. It's a lot to assume that just because i'm white, educated and have more mo...

  a cameragirlnyc, tes videos montrent tes voyages....mais qui servent a qui (à toi) et a quoi (juste a te faire plaisir...) cette video parle d'un voyage UTILE et de belles rencontres. HELPTRAVEL continuez, et nonne chance

• nancycoly (40 months ago)

  The best way to explore a place is to meet the people who live in it. Aren't we on the Encounter Channel ? That is what this video is about .. Great ambience guys, keep on with the good vibes !!!

• sheileen (40 months ago)

  To cameragirlnyc : your comments puzzled me, so I went to see your profile, and saw you have SIX viedos in the LP.tv contest... In one of them, you advertise yourself and your website !!! So I went to check your website, and oddly enough on the first page you plead people to go and vote for your videos in the LP.tv contest!!! So, who's promoting who ? A couple of Biblic sentences come to my mind ... Godbless you all ...

• sheileen (40 months ago)

  I believe it's about human beings integrating with each other, it might be Africa or Alaska or Japan, it doesn't really matter... Why I see here on a couple of comments the word ' white people ' ? What does it have to do with the skin color ? I thought we all try to overpass these issues don't we ?

• cameragirlnyc (40 months ago)

  (con't) needs to be checked.

• cameragirlnyc (40 months ago)

  I don't really get this...is this like a promo film for an adventure tourism co? Can someone explain why they got so many hits? I have to say I sort or agree with henry- a few years ago i was hired to shoot a doc for an ngo run by europeans in ghana, and this reminds me of that. and i'm also scared about all the companies that take people where others haven't traveled yet... the thrill of "discovering" that which never wanted to be discovered is an impulse of white people that i thi...

• CICASAND (40 months ago)

  Henri, vis tu en Afrique ? Moi, je ne parle que de ce que je connais.... pas de que du vrai de vrai. Mais peut être que ça te dérange la joie et le rapprochement des humains dans des situations qui sont difficiles Moi je trouve que ce qui se dégage de cette vidéo, c'est le non voyeurisme qui permet aux gens de conserver leur dignité, et l'humilité..........

• Henry123 (40 months ago)

  I think helping is great (though I've also seen some people who are supposedly helping doing a lot of negative things... Having money seems to give people a sense of entitlement and the feeling that they know what is best for those with less than them).. And it's not that I'd prefer to see malnutritioned Africans- my objection is not to the the work that is being done, it's to the self-congratulary nature of the video... I guess I've seen too much of this kind of thing.

• qtgyrl (40 months ago)

  Great video. It's great to see people in Africa who are not suffering from malnutrition! I really anjoyed this and I look forward to seeing much more! Great job!

• cicajl (40 months ago)

  moi, je vote parce que j'ai connu et ressenti ce que vous voyez avec help, et croyez moi c'est encore bien loin de la réalité. Pourquoi devrait on toujours montrer la misère, on sait qu'elle existe, et on essaie d'y remédier chacun à une petite échelle, mais la joie et l'amour aussi existent. les missions peuvent se passer sans souffrance, elles ne seront pas moins importantes. Partez en Afrique et vous comprendrez.......

• norrinradd (40 months ago)

  It is nice to see laughing and dancing people, no matter what colour their skin is, no matter where they are...

• yabadaa66 (40 months ago)

  Belive me Henry, I've been there as a tourist (maybe you've not). It's much better to do something for them than NOTHING. It's not a matter of happiness, sometimes they make the difference between living and dying. Let's help them!!!

• Henry123 (40 months ago)

  why always these romaticizing notions of places like africa and asia? it's enough already...not everyone in Africa is always laughing and dancing with all the generous and fun loving white people who come along. it's admirable to go to developing countries to try to do something good, but enough of the self-congratulatory video dribble...
