Eyes Wide Open

Eyes Wide Open gives people of all ages the opportunity to see the world and make a difference by getting involved in humanitarian projects in Asia and Australia’s Northern Territory. Eyes Wide Open trips provide a meaningful way to see new destinations, experience new cultures and volunteer your skills and time to help communities in need.

  • As a participant of an Eyes Wide Open tour, you will volunteer at a range of projects including orphanages, schools, community centres and hospitals. You may teach English, build a well, distribute wheelchairs or run workshops. Eyes Wide Open matches your skills with the needs of the projects.
  • In helping local communities, you venture off the tourist route and have real, grass roots experiences. You will come to understand the plight of people whose daily struggle is survival. We guarantee you will come home with open eyes and feel inspired to contribute to solutions towards a better world.

Ali's eyes opened wide by Eyes Wide Open


Wide Eyed: 42-year-old Alison Rae Jones, a professional opera singer, describes her Eyes Wide Open trip to Nepal (30 Sep – 19 Oct 2009)

IMG_3012.jpgWhen my friend Sue rang to ask if I would be interested in going to Nepal with Eyes Wide Open, I practically jumped down the phone at the opportunity to travel to a country I would never have visited of my own volition.  I had heard all about a previous Eyes Wide Open trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and was inspired and excited by the idea of a broad based humanitarian trip.
