Eddie Ngaluafe - Griffith News

"Griffith Law School lecturer Kate van Doore has used her keynote speech at the Trust Conference to encourage others to put an end to ‘orphanage tourism," according to this article from Griffith University. In her speech, Van Doore shared her personal experience running a charity that used to fund orphanages and the exploitation of children that was uncovered. “We know better than to perpetuate this system in countries by donating, funding and volunteering in these organisations and it needs to stop, please don’t volunteer in orphanages, please tell others to not volunteer. It’s never a good option,” says Kate.
