Web Series Explores “Good Intentions”

Does international aid make a difference? What happens when it fails? A ten-episode web series was recently launched to spark discussion about how far good intentions get us.  What method is the most meaningful?  What’s the real deal with short term volunteers?  What about missionaries or one of the other seven methods filmmaker Tori Hogan explores around the world?

Recommended to us by Daniela Papi whose organization PEPY is engaged in volunteer tourism and education in Cambodia, the videos are well made and Tori’s comments are thought provoking.   I think they’ll grab you with the dialogue they’re starting.

Visit www.beyondgoodintentions.com to watch the short episodes and then click on the Join the Dialogue link afterwards to join other folks who are already discussing these issues. — Tania Segura
