    • 2 Pages

    Haiti, the poorest country in the world, with over half of the population living in extreme poverty, is in desperate need of help (“Poverty in Haiti: Aid, Earthquakes, and Imperialism”). The level of poverty in Haiti is so high that it stands out from the other countries in Latin America.

Most children take their parents for granite and don’t realize what other children have to go through just to call someone their parent. Children who aren’t fortunate end up in the system and placed in foster care. Imagine the life in the shoes of a foster child; these children don’t only face the absence of their parent but suffer from placements of unfit homes. Within these unfit homes children suffer not only physically but emotionally.…

    Haiti is a Caribbean country located on the island of Hisplaniola and is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere with a population of 10,461,000.

    Imagine waking up every morning in your salad years, worried, because you don’t know where you’re next meal is coming from, you don’t know where to walk or wander in the midst of war, poverty, and/or violence and you don’t have the resources other children around the world have when faced with education and diseases. You should be lucky you are not one of the 1.5 billion children living in extreme poverty or one of the 25,000 kids that die daily due to the environment they live in. In Khaled Hosseini 's novel, The Kite Runner, it doesn’t get into the depth of poverty that more than half of Afghan children live in but it does stress on the orphans and the Hazara children and how their rights to be children have been violated.

(IOFA, 2011), (Friends International, 2009), (Project Childhood Prevention Pillar, 2013), (Unicef, 2011). But even more disturbingly, is the growing accounts of scams, corruption, sexual exploitation, neglect, child labour [etc.] as well as the overall physiological damage caused to the “orphans” (sometimes not even legitimate orphans) and their families who are caught in the middle of it all. (Unicef, 2011). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impacts of Volunteer Tourism in relation to Orphanage…
