This week is National Travel and Tourism Week. Beginning in 1984, this year brings a new theme of Travel Effect. How does travel effect the economy? How does it influence the individual? How about the people you connect with on your travels?
At Kids Play International, we’re all about positive travel effect. And this is something we strive to embody and experience on each of our Volunteer Trips. You’re not a tourist seeing the sights when you travel with Kids Play. You’re a volunteer who is actively improving the livelihood of a community. And because of this, we know there will be an uplifting and lasting effect not only on the boys and girls of our program, but on each and every one of us who experience this.
So, the question is, when and where do you want travel to effect you?
