Volunteer Bolivia featured in Volunteer Vacations

We are very happy to be feature in their newest version of volunteer Vacations!!! You may recall that we corresponded with you last year regarding your organization's entry in the 11th edition of Volunteer Vacations, published by Chicago Review Press. We're pleased to tell you that this book is now available, and we think you will be pleased with your entry! We'd appreciate any help you could give us in getting word about this book out. As a reminder, there is no charge to you to be included in our book, so we depend on sales to generate all of our revenue. Please help us prove that this model works by letting your volunteers know about our book! Thank you for your cooperation as we worked to get this edition to print. Our usual publication timeline is every three years, so look for emails from us in 2014 as we work on the next edition to be published in 2015. You might also be interested in the new book The Voluntourist, by Ken Budd. Ken used our book to identify six organizations - Cross-Cultural Solutions, Earthwatch, Global Volunteers, Rebuilding Together, Travellers Worldwide, and Volunteers for Peace - that helped him volunteer around the world. It's a terrific and honest narrative of what it was like for him to work in New Orleans, Costa Rica, China, Ecuador, Palestine, and Kenya. We deeply appreciate your cooperation and assistance to help us make this book as accurate and helpful for our readers as possible. We hope that its publication brings you many new volunteers! Best, Doug Cutchins & Anne Geissinger co-authors, Volunteer Vacations: Short Term Adventures That Will Benefit You and Others volunteer.vacations.book@gmail.com
