The Dark Side of Rich Kids Volunteering Abroad | Informer

Video Description

Voluntourism is when primarily western, privileged do-gooders pay for the experience of doing charity work abroad. But according to this ex-voluntourist, the orphanage she thought she was building was actually disassembled and remade throughout the night. Not only that but children were dirtied up to make them look poorer to add to the voluntourists' experience. Children were made to sing and dance for them - and worse. We give an inside glimpse into this sham world, where people pay for the experience of charity without actually helping locals - and often even making their lives worse. 00:00 Intro 02:05 "I was entirely unqualified" 03:21 What happens to donations? 04:28 Her advice could put her in great physical danger 06:00 Child abuse https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw613M86o5o4S3BXgi3bCiIVuopQxIMgV Watch more from this series: Working at a $1000/Day Corrupt Rehab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8VKWnI1koM The Horrors I Saw at Korean Private Schools https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPKl_xJDREQ Drugs, Sex and Gangs Inside Rikers Island Prison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AENv_zkzN50&t=1s Click here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE About VICE: The Definitive Guide To Enlightening Information.
