The topic of volun-tourism has been mentioned numerous times of late (such as our volunteer guide) so when I came across this excellent short film, I thought I’d share.

Here’s the lowdown: 12 people, 3 days and 1 school. This is a documentary about a community project trek deep into the Himalaya to help restore a school. The project was a joint venture been The Footprints Network, World Nomads and World Expeditions.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
