And how it would look on my insta posts
Comment from : Wagon

Look at her damn shoes all torn up and disgusting Probably has poor hygeine too She says "each of us paid thousands of dollars to go" (Uhno you didnt , you are broke, your parents are the ones who paid Stop hanging on to their coat tails and get your own Stop living with/off of your parents and acting like you are somethingyou have never accomplished anything on your own , its pathetic)brbrWhat she is saying isnt anything mysterious or unknown Anyone who has ever looked into this realizes its just aa bunch of whites trying to feel good about themselves by being around people who have less than them They even do that here in the US If you are another race and poor they try to be overly friendly with you so they can feel better about themselves brbrBut if you are another race and have more than them they hate you and will try to bring you down, spread rumors, lie or do whatever to make sure people look at you in a bad light Its the white way and sadly other races have adopted this way because they think it elevates them In reality it just makes them look cheap and idiotic

Follow the money see who has the power that’s the money and does the evil things you’ll be surprised
Comment from : Sergio Guevara castro

When i was in secondary school, we had big projects to complete in order to graduate which could be just about anything (learning to quilt, researching a subject that's interesting to you, etc) One girl who was notorious for being lazy in academics went on missions trip A lot of people saw right through it immediately that she got her church to pay for her "project" while doing next to no work She hung out with kids for about a week and acted like she lived in complete poverty Her living quarters werent great but they we probably still better than the kids' she'd "helped" Her presentation was mainly about her personal experience rather than what she had learned about those kids and their culture My peer feedback was negative since her presentation p, but my friend tore her to absolute shreds and I had mad respect for her for calling out that farce
Comment from : Spooky Time

Rich people and the opportunists wanting some of that money Capitalism at its finest 👌🏻
Comment from : Mary Smith

What I never got about these programs is why are they sending young privaleged college students from the US who haven't done a day of manual labor in their life to help these villages? Like, realisticlaly what skills do they even have to help these villagers Its all about feeling good about yourself and going to some poor country to say you made a "difference"
Comment from : Big Green

I went for a job with one of these organizations in London called Frontier on the volunteer recruitment front I worked for them for over a week and didn’t get paid Enough said I don’t think they were this bad but still dodgy

These poor black kids are putting on minstrel shows…
Comment from : Sleeping Sounds

I dated a girl for a few years who went on one of these trips and could not imagine a universe where she and her fellow trust funders hadn't gone in and substantially changed the existence of a portion of the continent I swear, the things being good looking can make other people toleratesmh

WOW! Things that was already knew because of the past

Thanks for your insights but realize that your insights are localized and not the reality of the whole world of orphanages in non-first world countries

Nice actors love how they tell story's like they did it real but real life they actors of all actors online if you don't see them yeah they have been arrested hahahahaha or they are looking for him somewhere brHahaha they not real the real ones are never on sight
Comment from : Bruno Laataf

Put the lights on, turn off the spooky music & take off the Freddie Kruger mask You could still tell your story in a well lit room in a comfy chair with your back to the camera but it's all set up to creep you out Not everyone's a bad person, the nicer ones are in the majority
Comment from : R Smith

Oy Color me shocked Is this seriously news to people? That self promoting western opportunists are self serving and exploitative? Get real
Comment from : I Know

The fact of the matter is this industry is exploitative by nature no matter how good of a heart the people doing the "work" might have And I side eye people who say they are doing it to "help the less fortunate" because you dont have to spend thousands of dollars to travel thousands of miles to help someone And the fact that people automatically think that people in less developed areas of Africa, Asia and South America need saving says a lot about the racial biases they hold If you are a wealthy US, UK, or Australian citizen who wants to "do good" your time, money and presence is better spent helping the less fortunate in your own community
Comment from : foxy2796

Great to bring up this relatively obscure topic Clearly this operator is sketchy at best I hope this is not typical in the industry and would like to see more context than this single example I’ve witnessed “rich kids” working in NGO’s and UN affiliated charities operating in the 3rd world living in comfort and padding their résumé’s while having little meaningful interaction or impact AND other charities and NGO’s who really are involved caring people The woman in this video surely got a great lesson in the good the bad and the ugly of how the world operates She may indeed have gained insight that can make her a sadder and wiser person

Disgusting All I can say

People who inherit money should be required to work a full year full time at McDonald's
Comment from : Ryan Nigro

Well, this isn’t surprising Virtue signaling just like the green agenda A way to make people feel good while actually doing nothing at best, and probably doing great harm

Limousine Liberals The worst of the worst
Comment from : RTD

This sounds like what most NGOs do that service these "poor countries" while their people are living in lavish gated communities in those countries
Comment from : Rodrigo Vega

Thus is disgusting There is a soecial place in hell for people who do this
Comment from : Michelle Harris

this is sickening
Comment from : Theo Ntanga

One of the reasons why universities does not count “volunteering“ anymore in their applications But I hope that this will not deter you in volunteering Research, and ask

Great representation of elitist culture, communism is dangerous
Comment from : Yan Yan Wang

Privilege at its best
Comment from : Brandon Felder

"Voluntourism" if that's what they're calling it was very popular when I was college It never did sit right with me because something felt off about it whenever people would post those pics with the children It ALWAYS felt disgingenious and like a virtue signaling photo op to me It also never added up to me how these things could be SO popular, with people going to the same places every single year, but things still not getting better You would think they'd have to show up for a few years to stabalize thingslike how many schools need to be built? So I always suspected there was some darker side to it Now, granted I bet not all of the programs are like this, but glad she shed light on what I kind of suspected all along That's why I didn't feel bad for not wanting to join the bandwagon and go on those trips
Comment from : fundifferent1

So true about what she said During the early phase of Ukraine war, the most popular voluntourism destination was Poland It was flooded by hedge fund managers’ kids who were looking for this once in a life time opportunity to put that war volunteering experience on their college application
Comment from : Louise Li

3:21 Wow males you not want to help When the exploited exploits Guess the best thing to do is start doing these things for our own children and communities in our own country as it’s needed here just as much
Comment from : Kd C

there are still many rich and smart people and they would not go
Comment from : Amanda C

In voluntourisim one of the most annoying things is watching educated people volunteer and offer their labour not their education and expertise in countries that labour is the most abundant resource Take your money and find a worthy family to support first hand Voluntourisim is a scam
Comment from : Stephen Tooby

There are still intelligent people on this Earth, this gives hope Mahsi
Comment from : Eden Maury

I have heard of one orphanage that was "staffed" by fake orphans for similar purposes, but when you say 'most of the children had not lost one or both parents They didn't have birth certificates, nobody knew who they were," yes, there are problems of human trafficking in adoption from underdeveloped countries, and it could be conceivable that such a "tourist destination" could be filled with trafficked children, and I can imagine having these concerns brbrA lot of babies are abandoned, especially in very poor areas It does happen brbrThat probably also makes it easier to conceal when some of them have been kidnapped or sold Regardless, it's a relevant point

damn she's been doing it for over a decade knowing that What an evil person
Comment from : trevs beace

If you need to go through another group to help someone, you don't need self affirmation You need a priest
Comment from : SG

What this person is describing sounds like a well thought out and orchestrated scam Phony altruism
Comment from : Mark D Kennedy

She has very valid points These are sheltered teenagers after all Their prime motivation is to fulfill requirements for some sort of "volunteer experience" by their college admissions or church But please let's not make a generalization and claim that all volunteers are useless I know of many volunteer opportunities, including orphanages in Latin America, that require that the volunteer be an adult with a professional career with a specific set of skills (ie doctors, teachers), be able to speak the local language, and commit for a set amount of time of no less than a year, often longer In exchange, they are provided with housing, food, sometimes a small stipend, and actually becoming part of the community So yes, I applaud her for being critical and describing her experience surrounding that kind of volunteer work, but let's not sensationalize every headline and cast a negative light on people who do contribute positively through their volunteer work
Comment from : d

its interesting how many of the commenters focus on the issue of people volunteering to help their resume, but not the host places misusing the funds and mistreating the children? Regardless of the volunteers motives, they still gave money and showed up for work The main issue is the places misusing those funds and hampering their progress, but of course its not as interesting to point the blame at them
Comment from : Max McCroskey

Even though it is corrupt, having rich western kids go volunteer does help the kids at the orphanages get slightly better food, like they had rice AND beans
Comment from : Mostfunnestchannel

Sounds more like a bad experience you had with an illegitimate company Do your due diligence before volunteering
Comment from : Alex Duero

Thank you for your honesty But I also hope that this video doesn't discourage people from helping people in need around the world Do enough research before committing to donate or volunteer ❤ Also, just admit that you are helping others for your own good; it only makes volunteering more attractive because you help yourself and others And this puts you in the mindset of not expecting anything in return because you are doing it for your own good
Comment from : MJ K

this is beyond sad
Comment from : SijamHusna

Glad vice is struggling financially, welcome to the third world idiots
Comment from : Otter Possum

Even growing up kids that would go to "community service" so they can put that on their College Apps are more or less the same as these rich kids larping as decent people This world rewards phoniness to such a degree its not even a secret
Comment from : Jayood yang

I’ve been saying this for decades This is just an honest person whose come face to face with elite Satanism
Comment from : viewz

It's the universities' admission requirements that should take the blameThey created the demand for voluntourism After all the education, especially the advanced educaction, is basically a business
Comment from : Leonardo Gabriel

And I used to wonder why they do so many of these programs abroad & not here in the US where in a lot of major cities & rural areas, you can find practically the same conditions but without the hype/commercialization the "abroad" experience is sold as It's so they can avoid the checks & balances brbrThis is so sickening, but not really surprising It makes me think of that Savior Complex doc that's coming out soon with the white girl that had absolutely no medical training, "treats" the children of a Ugandan community, & 105 of the kids die under her care It's like it's a sport or a form of entertainment to the wealthy
Comment from : Francisko

I did a trip for my senior project We legit built a basketball/soccer court for a middle school and left Our mission was to give the kids an option to hangout and play rather than go play with drugs and violence Maybe it help maybe it did t I’d like to think so Either way we never did anything to make the kids feel better other than joke around with them as we do with younger kids at home
Comment from : chadjoneslsu

It took her 10 years to realize this?
Comment from : Kate

That is why is better to donate from hand to hand no middle man at all its a sad greedy world we live in
Comment from : Raemar90

It would be good if colleges & employers decided that voluntourism wasn't relevant to that person's potential as a student or employee
Comment from : basbleupeaunoire

What is with the horrifying mask! Can’t they just blurr the face

This should be a documentary Not the lady who practiced medical care illegally on 100s of kids
Comment from : Jared K

Why don't these losers just volunteer in their own communities?
Comment from : Only The Best 10 Minute Loops

Pretty crazy Can't even buy real charity with money I have nothing against money - it's just currency for trading But what money does to people is insane People are so disappointing
Comment from : Here4TheHeckOfIt

Over the years I have realized that people that want to do good are just as bad as the corrupt people they say they are against Always kind, giving and the first person to stand up and support acts of evil disguised as acts of virtue If not also committing evil acts themselves while dismissing those acts as virtue instead
Comment from : Daniel Tenebrion

If you truly want to do this do it yourself Go to a 3rd world country and reach out to one of the local churches there you can find lots of people that truly need help
Comment from : ARCH PEACE

This is very sad It saddens me that people want to do good but the people on the ground are out to making themselves rich My advice would be people pooling resources together for sustainable projects Something like farming that is visible and tangible and changes lives I know many people who would love farm but they luck the resources In africa there is alot of land, labour and policies to do farming are just awesome
Comment from : miriam wangari

In one of my classes at University we learned about Renee Bauch She was a missionary that went over to Uganda to help sick children She has no medical experience She ended up killing over 100 children This stuff is real

Why am I not surprised 🙄
Comment from : RRR

Mormon missionaries ?
Comment from : autummsun

I lived this exact experience Right down to discovering the trafficking in a neighbouring orphanage
Comment from : Katie Marocchi

Vice sucks so hard nowadays, it’s unwatchable Thanks for admitting that you were wealthy enough to have an opportunity to bring about a moment of real and positive change for people in need, but, instead of preparing for the work that you would do during the trip or, at the very least, making sure that the work you did was both within your limits and done well, you simply squandered that opportunity And, a special thanks to Vice for posting this and discouraging young folks from taking time to help others overseas
Comment from : Brian Stephens

This is a prime example of the dangers of colonization You can't assume that you know better than the community than you are visiting
Comment from : Support Policies Not Politicians

What a weirdo At first I was wondering why she was hiding her face, about halfway through I knew why
Comment from : Corey Boyette

This is silly I get there are always middlemen who are parasitic to these sorts of activities But There is nothing wrong with helping yourself and helping others simultaneously And as a young person thinking about its impact on your college application and resume is a perfectly fine thing We arent angels But at least we should push in this direction Sounds like there are many things operationally that need fixing But that is a separate issue
Comment from : yhp99

Is there a light side? They so clearly do nothing, like they don't even really hide how little they help others
Comment from : Samuel Williams

Disgusting
Comment from : Valentin Skorkin

Glad you guys interview for this topic Not all organizations are bad and a scammer, but majority That's including all those big name whenever come to any dissasters Dont think your donations will actually reach the victims It is up to them to choose how much to donate to the victim and what to use it for Of course, not all of us have the time or the money to actual visit and provide help directly that is why we donate online but if you do that is the only way to help You know the money will go directly to the people with no one intercept in between Sometime the local gov also wants a cut in that money, too For the volunteers abroad, it is like another way to use the pain and suffering of the child and the community to seek for your sympathy Same as those child sponsor monthly that you see on the add and TV ads It is sad bec the end of the day rarely those children wont get the direct help that you send them and will continue to be use by these organizations
Comment from : peacelife

I wish I was surprised
Comment from : Quan Yen Was Here

my god you people if you have this money, partner with an existing church or something in said country, buy a plot of land for them, hire a contractor and build the orphanage, stop wasting money on stupid safaris to see poor kids like they are some inferior race to feel good about yourselves let them manage the orphanage and send your money to them Doesn't even have to be a church, could be a school or something
Comment from : CIA debunked

My sister in-law went to do pretty much the exact thing as this lady and it was always super fishy to me just do to the amount of $ they were spending for this group to "volunteer" would have payed to have locals build the same facilities 10 times over in that area

Oh hey, another of those dumb videos where Vice picks a random employee, puts a mask on them, and has them say stuff with moody music in the background
