For completeness, I will re-post my reply to Daniela when she initially made these excellent points:
As always you make excellent points, Daniela!
We fully support regulation and/or a code of practice, and your Voluntourism 101 initiative goes a long way in the right direction.
I just wanted to say that even in the absence of something like this, the best possible outcome is not “at best naïve”…it is my humble submission that the best outcome in the current (albeit imperfect) status quo can still be very positive for all involved (and PEPY’s programmes are a shining example of this).
Thanks for your input, Daniela.
