There is good news from the tribewanted website that the eco-tourism/workcamp project on Vorovoro Island will continue for a further three years. Yes, the way to go! This project by young people and attracting adventurous kind of young people from many countries has proved to be a valuable innovative kind of eco-tourism where there is respect for the local community, plenty of interaction and employment for our relatives, the Mali island men and women and the children paricularly of the District School. This is quite dofferent from the experience of many tourists who just have a holiday and the local people serve their needs for luxury. Okay, okay Meg and others, some resorts are excellent in tourist-local relationships!

Vorovoro just continues to set amazing examples to the rest of the world, totally admirable.
ReplyDeleteWe really would like to find the time to escape there for a week sometime this year... I'm happy to donate photography work to them too if they need.
It can't work as a matter of fact, that's what I suppose.
