During the last years many have stepped up and argued that greater involvement in the establishment of rules and regulations and improved autonomy over forests from a local level are strongly related to better forest management practices as well as livelihood benefits for the communities themselves. After all, who can manage the forests better and who has more to gain....... read more
culturen ontdekken
Hier waren we net aangekomen bij mother of peace, en de kinderen uit het weeshuis hadden een spectaculaire dans/zang act voor ons. Ze zongen het in hun eigen taal, Zulu. Ik vond het heel bijzonder om de verschillen in cultuur te zien tussen ons en hen.
Intervieuw met Dulla over het project waar mijn geld naartoe gaat

Into the Slums
On 07 December 2014, we joined the Smokey Tours Slum Tour. It was one of a kind experience. It was even lucky that we were able to join the "Photowalk" where we can take pictures. Generally picture taking is not allowed.

Who profits most of volunteer work?
Many of you might have read the recent articles criticizing the popularity of volunteer work amongst white teenagers nowadays. After the launch of this article, several more popped up, and they are interesting to read. However, these articles, as well as the ones supporting volunteer work, give a ‘one-sided’ view on the matter. The critical articles point out very truthfully,....... read more

GREEDY RICH IS THE POOREST OF THE POOR
As the world supporters you all are, I do not have to tell you that there are huge differences in the world if it comes to wealth. I've experienced it myself when worked in India, Delhi to be specific, where you can go from the slums to the extra ordinary residential neighbourhoods in less then five minutes.

Overstromingen in Filippijnen
One thing I learnt from Filipino's: there is no reason not to smile... Right now the whole country is flooded, so many people are losing their homes. And while I'm sitting here, dry and worried about them, these kinds of updates are being posted by my friends... 'Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about

Er wordt al jarenlang -en recent niet anders- geschreven over de bedreiging die "toerisme" vormt voor onze planeet. Los van allerlei culturele bedreigingen (de nadelige effecten van massa-toerisme in opkomende voormalige ontwikkelingslanden) gaat het dan vaak om bedreigingen voor het milieu -en spec...
Het lijkt er op dat de onderwerpen duurzaamheid en toerisme vandaag de dag niet meer van elkaar te scheiden zijn. Aan toerisme kleven tal van voor en nadelen ten opzichte van duurzaamheid. Daarnaast is duurzaamheid een ontzettend breed begrip wat alles te maken heeft met zowel de bestemming als orga...
Ik lees een interessant artikel over het initiatief van David Katz, een ontwikkelingsondernemer uit Canada die de Plastic Bank heeft opgezet. Plastic wordt tegen een eerlijke prijs ingekocht bij verzamelers in ontwikkelingslanden, vervolgens verscheept naar westerse landen, die het recyclen voor ind...
