The Bamboo Project powered by GVN: Volunteer and Voluntours abroad

The Bamboo Project Powered by GVN is the next step in independent volunteering and adventure travel. We're dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what responsible tourism is all about. Our dedicated team, consisting of the perfect mix of international travellers and passionate locals, know exactly how to ensure that both you, our hearty traveller, and the communities that we're dedicated to support, receive the very best of everything; adventure, fun, financial help, support, care, love, hugs and hi-5's! Where we go, we leave footprints. Together we ensure this footprints are nothing but positive. The partnership of The Bamboo Project (TBP) and Global Volunteer Network (GVN) happened as recently as May 2016 – but don't let that fool you! Both TBP and GVN have years and years of hugely successful histories in international volunteer travel. GVN, founded way back in 2002, have since placed 23,243 volunteers on worthy projects globally, raised US$ 2,457,493.14 in donations and been responsible for thousands upon thousands of volunteer hours. TBP, although still in its infancy (founded in September 2013), is led by two cheeky chaps, Mark and Steve, who have both been directly involved in volunteering and adventure in Asia for almost a decade. It's the perfect combination, a marriage made in heaven and by giving you the very best of both worlds you're guaranteed the best experiences available.
