Seeking to harness the wisdom of senior citizens, Hands Up Holidays, the award winning responsible travel operator, encourages voluntourism among older adults as a way to give back and also increase personal fulfillment and meaning. The participation of older persons in volunteerism blended with comfortable sightseeing has dual benefits: it enables seniors to share a wealth of skill and experience with other communities; and in doing so it keeps them active physically, socially and psychologically.
Senior volunteering is more diverse than ever before and offers opportunities for older and retired people to render their time and skills in education, health, repairs and renovations, and to protect the environment with the purpose to change the destiny of disadvantaged and marginalized communities. Hands Up Holidays has arranged volunteer vacations for a growing number of ’young at heart’ people, where they benefit positively from being actively involved with volunteering.
Volunteer holidays, which span the world, are prepared in such a way that let participants to contribute in ‘hands on’ ways to the needy community. With Hands Up Holidays, Seniors receive a grass-root sense of the cultures they visit, in Europe, Africa, Asia, Pacific and Latin America. The award winning responsible tour operator arranges meaningful voluntourism trips for ‘grown ups’ that let them engage in activities that will use their skill and give them a sense of purpose.
