U 4 the world
If you meet people who are living in difficult conditions during your travels, and you help them – either personally or through local organisations – we'd like to hear about it.
Write, add photos, add videos – whatever you feel tells YOUR story best.
Text
When you write your story, be direct and spontaneous, make it just like the experience you had. Tell it as if you were describing it to a friend. Need inspiration? Have a look at our travel book.
Use English if you can, otherwise your mother tongue.
Please divide your text into paragraphs to make it easy to read. To start a new paragraph, just press return. See an example
Photos
Send us your original photos "au naturel". Please don't send us digitally altered photos. We want to see the world through your eyes, not through photo editing tools!
Send photos in JPG/JPEG format. Images should have a maximum size of 8MB and a minimum resolution of 2200 pixels width (for landscape photos) and 2200 pixels height (for portrait photos).
It's really important that you explain where you would like us to position your photos within your text. So please save your photos as numbers (1,2,3,4)*, and then use these numbers as references within your text to show exactly where you want your pictures to go. See an example.
* Please use english for photo tags. Tags are keywords that you can use to describe your pictures.
E.g. For a photo of a bird, you might use the words 'bird wings' as a tag. Please remember to put a space between each word.
How to name your pictures:
Photo number + photo description + city/village/area (where the photo was taken) + country (where the photo was taken)
Example:
1 bird wings bangkok thailand
Videos
There's only one rule for videos – get your camera, capture your unrepeatable moments and tell us everything!
Send us your videos in one of the following formats: .avi, .flv, .mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .wmv, .mp4

about
About to set off? On your travels you'll encounter people living in difficult conditions, supported by people working away in the shadows.
So take your heart along with you! Before you leave, raise funds from among your friends and family.
Who can you help? Schools, orphanages, hospitals, all of which do their bit to fight hunger, disease and war, day in, day out.
You can make a difference to their lives…. and to your own!
So do just that, then tell us about it: sharing your experience is a small gesture that's a big help.
