Want to do your part for humanity? Consider a Volunteer vacation. Back in May, I wrote an article titled The High Cost of Doing Good.. Most of us want to be altruistic. But when it comes to volunteer travel, altruism comes with a high price tag. Now, the good folks at Matador Travel have published an article about volunteer vacation that won't require you to take out a second mortgage!

In addition to the organizations that are listed in the article, you should also take a look at Humanity First.
