Read “The Giving Trip,” in Outside magazine’s Dec. 2009 issue, about Roadmonkey Adventure Philanthropy’s 2008 expedition to northwest Vietnam. For two weeks, 11 Roadmonkeys – from New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Toronto and Madrid – cycled some 350 miles through rugged hills and valleys near the Chinese and Lao borders, then spent four days building a playground at an orphanage west of Hanoi.
The article’s author, Mike Kessler, an award-winning Outside writer and self-described skeptic of the trend toward “voluntourism,” came to see Roadmonkey as such a good thing that he joined the company this year.
More on that later…
