Why is voluntourism so bad? And how can you join the Chapters for Change readathon? All this and more in our brand new episode with special guest, Human & Hope Founder and CEO SALLY HETHERINGTON!
About Sally: In 2011, at 25, Sally Hetherington bought a one-way ticket to Cambodia. She found that voluntourism was causing harm, deepening local poverty.
Sally supported a team in Cambodia to develop Human and Hope Association Cambodia (HHA Cambodia). They built a community centre in rural Siem Reap, and developed the locally run organisation to help locals lift themselves out of poverty.
Sally achieved her goal of becoming redundant. HHA Cambodia is now entirely run by local Cambodian staff, with no foreign staff, volunteers or board members.
This led her to write her first book ‘It’s Not About Me’, highlighting the negative impact of voluntourism on local communities in Cambodia and globally. She was awarded an Order of Australia medal at age 33.
