What is True Travellers Society?

True Travellers Society was developed out of frustration with the “volunteer in Asia, volunteer in Africa, volunteer in South or Central America, but first pay us lots of money” organizations (maybe that isn’t a direct quote, but it is pretty close).

The aim of our organization is to connect people to no or minimal fee meaningful travel and volunteer travel opportunities around the globe. We have created a central location where this information can be shared for free.

If you have any opportunities to share or are interested in finding a volunteer opportunity, please join.

Hope you find the site useful.
Safe and happy travels,
Andrew Wahba
Founder True Travellers Society

There is a wide range of community service and conservation projects in need of support throughout the African continent.

We are a small school of 130 children located high in the himalayas on the border of India and Nepal; at a place called Begha. We offer the opportunity to visit us, live with a family and see how a traditional himalayan (nepalese) family undertakes their simple, joyful lives. At about $1 a day to visit (goes to the family for food and board), we ask you to spend time with the children during school time teaching english or other subjects for about 4 hours a day, and playing sports or doing arts and crafts on Saturdays. This provides so much to the children in terms of future opportunities is it priceless.

This is an amazing opportunity to experience an amazing culture untouched by western culture and full of families with big smiles and big hearts. All our visitors have been truley amazed and inspired. We have opportunities available now and all the way through to April for 3 and upto 8weeks.

We currently need people February through to mid April. Please go to http://www.sunriseacademysikkim.com/visiting-volunteering-sikkim for more information.

Lots of love from all of us at Sunrise Academy.
