À propos de cet audio

On this episode Bryn talks to film maker and campaigner Barak Laub about his documentary Volunteers Needed and the discovery he made when travelling Nepal.

Approximately 80% of children in orphanages have at least one living parent, so why, in some parts of the world, are orphan numbers dropping whilst orphanages are increasing in number?

Is it possible that well-meaning travellers looking to volunteer in an orphanage are actually part of the problem?
