Tourists see. Travelers seek.What's the difference between a tourist and a traveler?Tourists are on a one-way trip (not literally, that would be an inefficient way to get around) - they visit a new place, take selfies, eat some stuff they wouldn’t eat at home, buy a souvenir hat and move on to the next destination. A tourist might be a better person after a trip, but the place they visit is usually no better and hopefully no worse than when they arrived.Travelers benefit from their trips too, but they also make a positive impact everywhere they go. Sometimes that impact comes in small ways - communicating with the locals in more depth than “I’ll have another Bia Saigon,” spending money in places off the main tourist drag or maybe you’ll even make some friends who will have a different opinion of your home country.If you want to make a REALLY big difference while you’re in Vietnam, how about getting books into the hands of kids who are hungry to read?kids reading_300pxHere are three great things about The Library Project’s adopt-a-library program:but the place they visit is usually no better and hopefully no worse than when they arrived.It’s inexpensive to make a big splash. For just $3,500 you can sponsor an entire reading room in a school or orphanage in Vietnam. (And a reading corner or book donation costs even less.)Your friends and family can play along. Our team fundraising tools allow the people in your network to donate money to your library.If you raise the money before you come to Vietnam, you can help deliver the library. Even if the timing doesn’t work out for you to be there in person, we’ll send you photos, thank you notes from the kids and a completion report with all the details of your new library.
