Our national network has affiliates in 200 communities across the US, and we're in 20 other countries as well--including a relatively new one in Curacao. Based on what I have learned about TUGgers over the years, I felt like this volunteer opportunity might be a fun way to spend a few hours on your next vacation. Now, I'm just waiting hoping for a new affiliate to open in Aruba, so I can apply for that job. ;)

Curacao Cares: Using Music to Fight Dementia
Curacao Cares has created a new initiative called "Music and Memory Curaçao" - The project aims to improve the quality of life for those living in isolation in nursing homes, and especially those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Music and Memory Curacao will join with an incredible team of collaborating partners who are devoted to recognizing the elderly and make them feel special again. To learn more, click here.

I know that voluntourism is a growing trend, and there are both pros and cons to it. However, most cons seem to be associated with companies that do nothing but sell voluntourism vacations; I think adding a one-time volunteer experience to a timeshare stay would be kind of a cool way to make a difference and learn more about the community you're visiting.
