Wouldn’t it be Nice to Send Your Season’s Greetings from Africa?

Denver, CO, November 18, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Your son has plenty of sweaters and your daughter, no matter what she tells you, might not actually need that new cell phone she has on her holiday wish list.

This year, rock the entire family’s world by giving them the gift they’d never imagine – a view from another part of the globe. Spend the holidays on an i-to-i volunteer adventure. 

As the leading provider of meaningful travel, i-to-i helps families, couples, individuals and groups travel to 500 volunteer projects in 23 countries for 1-24 weeks. This year for the holidays, why not treat the kids to a trip to work with sea turtles in Costa Rica or lions in South Africa. We bet they’ll remember it longer than the sweater.

i-to-i volunteers work in community development, conservation, teaching, building, media, healthcare and sports coaching projects. These can involve caring for those affected by the AIDS pandemic in South Africa, saving Giant Pandas in China, or clearing 25 miles of beach after the tsunami. 

"Give the gift of travel this holiday season,” suggests Alexia Nestora of
i-to-i North America. “With such a wide variety of volunteer projects, i-to-i offers a world of one-of-a-kind travel opportunities for people interested in truly making a difference in the lives of others while on their vacation.”

i-to-i gift certificates are the ideal present for anyone on your shopping list who has been bitten by the travel bug.

Consider it holiday shopping made easy. The hardest part is choosing where to go.
