Traveling the world doesn’t have to cost a fortune, there are many places where you can volunteer your time for food and a bed. Rob Ormerod has been working with volunteers from around the globe to create an Earthbag community centre in the Andes. This is the story of how over 400 people came together over a 2 year period to live, work and learn together.

Usually someone speaking this slowly makes me lose focus on their talk but...this guy managed it and it was relaxing af.
(And to those who think it doesn't relate to the title...he's suggesting you try it, based on his own experience. Then telling you about it. Not every TED is a bulletpoint list.)

Great talk, very inspiring Rob, well done!

Amazing! What an innovative and engaging way to be a sponsor.
Credit to humanity
This changed my life
My answer to the question in the beginning of the video is:
I always wanted to be a MSF Doctor since I was a child and I am going to be.
Good for you
Fantastic!
Inspiring!
And here I'm watching this video, amazed and inspired. Then when tomorrow comes, still do nothing
But, not for too long, Finola Ginting.
Hi good morning/evening everyone,I hope to help people all around the world
So much inspiring would like to join you
I was looking through comments to find out where i can apply/contact to volunteer. Any information be great. I even speak some spanish
I want to volunteer too, I want to help others and be a part of something fulfilling. I'm working on getting my Passport and I definitely want to be a part of something that takes me places and gives me a chance to find out what I want to do in life too. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do? This would be my first time traveling out of country and I don't really know what all is available and what I could help with.
Woofing! As a person with no 'mum's credit card, woofing has been my way. Volunteering or working in hostels too. I have done that too!
@@emmaphilo4049 Thank you! I'll be sure to look up outlets and find those particular resources. I don't have wealth myself or in my family so this will be very useful 😄👍👍
Hi Pearl, I have a project yet to launch in 2023, be happy too connect with you for volunteer opportunities
@@travelimpactxperience8780 would love to join too
Where do I go to find an experience like this
where can I find something like that?
His mum's credit card. That says it all. Middle class man. Being middle class give a freedom, us people who were born into poverty CANNOT access to in the same way. Enjoyyyyyy people who have parents to rely on!
Ahaha and he thinks working 5 hours a day is hard work. Can tell he’s privileged af
I would love to do this
“With my moms credit card” made me throw up in my mouth. 🙄
Hello everyone! I want to start volunteering, start helping people! Any information will be useful!
Андрей Тарасов hi. What kind of things you would like to do for volunteer?
Methawi Laithong anything i just want to help people..(I'm sorry for interrupting you guys though😁)
Me toooo! I have started googling for places to volunteer.
My mom is an architect involved with sustainable design so I hope she will be able to put me in contact with groups like this.
Also I know that with a bit of luck and resilience I will be able to travel at very little expense by hitchhiking and asking people for accommodation in exchange for some manual labor or to teach some lessons.
Good luck with your expeditions and post a reply here if you make it back from your journey :)
Didn't relate to the title of the video though
Hey everyone?I'm kindly requesting if someone can helping me in starting a business so I can be able to take care of my children.I come in peace.I'm honestly struggling here in kenya
The disapproval he expresses towards his upbringing does not represent the value it brought him. Were it not for his four-year education in product design, the volunteers would not have emailed him asking for his skillset. I guess he disagrees more with the lifestyle, as in the style with which his education was delivered, not the substance of the education.
He serves as an example of why getting out into a volunteer setting can help uncover problems that need solving, rather than working complacently making marginal improvements to an already largely functioning system.

God im glad i didnt watch the video its got nothing to do with the title. Try naming it 'A house i helped make out of dirt'
