He's a great example of "voluntourism" and the White Savior American.
"Look at me," he says. "These backwards brown people would be nothing without my help."
Heaven forbid he helped the immigrants, POC, and the poor in his own backyard.

I'm the Nonprofit Gorgon! I like to talk about nonprofits, charities, voluntourism agencies, religious groups & volunteers that are scams / frauds / swindles (in contrast to ethical ones). Because there are a LOT of them out there - like the one I named my account after!

This really gets at my frustration with a lot of higher education (study abroad, voluntourism, everything labeled global)
western activism doesn't work.

Access isn't access if it exists behind a paywall. Disappointed in @rewildingbritain.org.uk for getting into bed with this. At the very least don't call it wild-camping. I have no problem with estates charging folk to come and do voluntourism, but dressing it up as some kind of opening up is a lie.
