J.K Rowling has made it very clear that she will not be supporting (or retweeting) any charities that promote 'Voluntourism'.

In a series of tweets, the Harry Potter author spoke up about how she is very against charities that offer 'experiences to put on your CV' when it comes to volunteer work.

As often happens when I tweet about the charity I founded, @Lumos, I have just been asked to retweet an appeal from another charity... — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

...this one offering volunteer 'experiences' in an orphanage in an extremely poor country. @Lumos does not support #voluntourism. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

#Voluntourism is one of drivers of family break up in very poor countries. It incentivises 'orphanages' that are run as businesses. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

The charity I have just been asked to support offers (doubtless well-intentioned) Westerners 'volunteer experiences' in child institutions. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

One of the advantages listed for your orphanage volunteer experience is that it will give you a CV 'distinguisher'. #voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

The #voluntourism charity tells volunteers that they will be able to 'play and interact' with children 'in desperate need of affection.' — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

Willingness to cling to strangers is a sign of the profound damage institutions do to children #voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

Globally, poverty is the no. 1 reason that children are institutionalised. Well-intentioned Westerners supporting orphanages... — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

... perpetuates this highly damaging system and encourages the creation of more institutions as money magnets. #voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

Never forget, 80% of institutionalised children worldwide have close family who want them back. They are not orphans. #Voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

These children and these countries need social care and health systems that keep families together. #Voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

This, in short, is why I will never retweet appeals that treat poor children as opportunities to enhance Westerners' CVs. #Voluntourism — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 21, 2016

Rowling then went on to share a link to the charity that she founded, Lumos, to provide more information about the negative effects of Voluntourism.

We can always count on Rowling to voice important opinions and use her immense platform for good.
