Ifyou didn’t have them, you couldn't digest your food. Like fingerprints, each person's bacteria combination is unique. This mass of microbes is known as your microbiome. SETH: Interesting.

It's a way to learn about a new culture, gain experience and help others, all at the same time. So what could be wrong with that? It's @ complex issue. Voluntourism has increased in popularty, parlly because more stucients want to enhance their university 6 job applications with challenging experiences, Each year, around 10 milion voluntourists go to Africa, Asia and Central and South America, Mest are young people from Europe, North ‘America, New Zealand and Australia, volunteering in areas auch 1s teaching, health care, construction and conservation projects. I you think this kind of holiday is inexpensive, think again When you look at atypical voluntourism vrebsite, you'll see that it can cost over £1,000 fora few weeks, pls travel expenses, Why? Voluntourism is a °130-bilion-a-year indusiry, connected to companies looking to make a profit from this. CGiitcism of voluntourism has been growing, including ‘complaints that volunteers lack skils. This has created absurd situations, such as having to rebuild homes that had originally been built by unskilled volunteers, And shockingly, volunteers with no medical training sometimes carry cut procedures such as delivering babies. Some say this benetits locals on the whole, ‘because they receive essential treatment, but | belive it risks lives and is unethical. “Another erticism concerns money. For one thing, voluntourism's high cost makes it impossible for many students. Furthermore, the £1,000 someone might pay in order to teach for two weeks ‘exceeds an annual teacher's salary in mary destinations. ‘Would’ it be more helpful in the ong run to donate the money to hire a local teacher? lm my opinion, voluntourism has become more focused on ‘satisfying customers than on provicing suitable aid. | wish more ‘students would thin twice about it.
