This is a timely podcast which may be of interest to those considering taking a break from a traditional holiday commitment, and perhaps doing something more useful with your time, than sitting on a beach reading a book. Have you ever thought about volunteering? There are many projects around the world, which rely on volunteers to support their efforts. This can be at orphanages, building projects or animal welfare to name but a few,where people go to share their skills and help out for a few weeks or many months. Beth has recently visited an Animal Welfare Centre in Thailand and in this podcast she interviews, a local coordinator as well as some volunteers, to see what a difference volunteering can make.
