Great story! I have been on many adventures and climbs in my life (none quite like this), but until now have done it mostly for myself, for pride, and accomplishment. From now on, I will do it for others as well …

A friend of mine is heading on an expedition to Mexico in a few months, and I have sent him the article to get him inspired. Hopefully it’s not too late. Maybe he can upgrade his trip and incorporate some sort of charitable cause as a part of his trip.

Thanks ...

I like the article and details for some ideas. Your article still leaves me in the dark about this issue finding the right organization or group that will get me there.

What if you have little to no money, but are really wanting to leave and make a difference somewhere else?

How about this: Join the Peace Corps (linked to in the related posts, but not mentioned). I finished up 2 years of service last year. It’s a hell of a lot more adventure than a short trip and not for everyone, but will be worth it when you’re done.

Great article. I’ve been wanting to summit Kilamanjaro for a while and this sounds like the perfect way to do it. Unfortunately I have only found charity organizations from the UK, which means flying through Heathrow, and the extra expense of getting there. Also, JustGiving is UK based and I would have to pay a transactional fee to use their services from the US. Does anyone know of similar charity ... See all content

I am a new reader of the AOM, and have been enjoying pretty much every article.

This is the first I felt the need to comment on. This article speaks not only to my manly side but to the pastor side.

In my years as a pastor working in a church I can attest to the benefits of men working together for the good of others on their time off.

It is not only therapeutic, but makes

Great article and feedback so far.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to incorporate this into a family affair, meaning, take the week that would have been spent at the House of Mouse, Jellystone or whatever, and instead spending the week doing a family service project / vacation? This may or may not include travel to somewhere far away, but must include all the family members with ages

I recently spent part of a Saturday morning, packaging food for Feed My Starving Children. I was very gratifying to know that some children living a third world hell hole, are going to eat in part due to my efforts. What is more manly than to protect and care for the weakest members of society? I think every man should find some cause for which he can give of himself. Thank-you this article. Keep up ...

Last summer I was privileged enough to take a two-week mission trip to Guatemala to help with housing construction for the urban poor. I think that will forever be a high-point of summer vacations.

Some great ideas here and nice to see you’re thinking big. For those who aren’t, or for last minute chances to make a difference on holiday, if you’re heading to a developing country consider taking some old clothes. In many countries like Africa, India and the Paciific Islands pre-loved clothes and shoes will be eagerly accepted by the locals. Just tell all your friends that you’re ... See all content
