Do Good As You Go - CONTACT Info?
 

My wife and I are planning a Pan American trip and want to do some volunteering along the way. We have tried to contact Do Good As You Go on 4 separate occasions...to four separate email address that we found by poking around the HUBB...but, have not received a response.

Does anyone know of a current contact or if, in fact, it is still operational?

Much appreciated,
Mike

Sorry can't help, but am happy to see another nutmegger headed out into the world. I'm from Trumbull...and oh God do I miss Colony Grill.

Bad experience with Muskoka Foundation-DO GOOD AS YOU GO
 

I wouldnt describe them as a scam BUT I have first hand BAD experience.

They send me to "assess" and volunteer in an orphanage in Zimbabwe in 2013. I stayed there for 2 months and I LOVED IT. One of the highlights of my RTW trip.

Then I sent them back all the material. After 4 years, the orphanage was still pending in their list of partnering organizations but they used my material (my photos) to promote their great job in Africa!

But, in 4 years time, they were not able enough to establish a proper connection with the guys at the orphanage and make them available for other travellers to go and experience.

They claimed that the communication was bad (bad internet etc). I still talk with the guy in charge in the orphanage with all possible ways like whatsapp, email and FB.

This is my experience with Muskoka and I am really sorry that they havent managed to deliver in my case ;-(

Sadly, I am getting the impression that it is not a well-functioning organization.

Do you know of any other organizations that have a similar mission. In our case, we will traveling in Central and South America.

I am not sure to be honest and I dont want to reply with "if" & "what if".


But, you could ask this FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/panamtravelers/


It has more than 12K members. Some of them might know or actually took part in a philanthropic mission.

Thanks for the great lead!
