alih Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 We would like to do a "holiday of a lifetime" with our 4 children but want to do a volunteering/ project-based holiday to combine it with some sightseeing. I know it sounds rather worthy but think the kids (who will be 9-18) will remember more if they have contributed in some way rather than just being tourists. Does anyone have any experience of this? Have looked at a few websites but recommendations always more encouraging! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hi Jayne, thanks for that - yes my daughters are doing world challenge with school which is fabulous. There are a few companies with family centred activities and the minimum age varies. Will keep hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD is off to India in Junewith WC, DS off to Kenya the following summer with CI - I would love to do that but i'm not a good flyer these days so we are just off to northumberland. Would be a fantastic family holiday though- one they would remember for a liftetime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
