How to help eradicate poverty - holiday of a life time

Over the many years that I have resided in the third world, my thoughts have been related to how I can help eradicate the poverty that surrounds me. My answer to that problem is that by retiring here my meager pensions actually help as a Peso Millionaire most of my money enters the local economy. I help fund parents to send children to school and send a talented Filipino to university to train to be a teacher (a much needed talent). I am just one of the ex-pats that help most do not realize they do. But I realized the biggest help that any foreigner can achieve is to make countries in the third world a holiday destination.    

 

Want to help eradicate poverty and have a nice time doing just that? Well the answer is to go on an adventure holiday where the airfare is the only real big expense. You arrange the accommodation by surfing the web. This means looking for low priced accommodation and not staying at the Ritz and one can arrange a holiday of a life time or at least one to educate you on the problems of poverty. Your money will spread far here everything is cheaper here.

 

A good choice could be the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Philippines where every cent you spend helps to put food on peoples table. If you took a holiday package most of your money would go to the super rich and not to those that really need the money. Being adventurous is much more fun anyway and you really get a taste of the culture as it really is.
