Regret the Error

An article last Sunday about incorporating philanthropy into vacations referred incorrectly to a trip planned by Rhonda Wolfond. The part of the trip that involves philanthropy, organized by Artisans of Leisure, includes only Morocco, not Morocco and Paris. It will last nine days, not seven, and cost $20,000 plus air fare, not $50,000. The article also referred incorrectly to donations to orphanages and centers for people with disabilities during Ms. Wolfond’s past trips. She has arranged for donations to come from Sandylion Sticker Designs and has donated food and school supplies; she has not donated thousands of dollars to these places, though she has donated money to residents of remote villages for food and clothing.

The article also misattributed part of a comment about the causes of growth in philanthropic travel. While Ashley Isaacs Ganz, president of Artisans of Leisure, did cite media attention as a cause, she did not cite celebrities. It was John Kay, a philanthropic traveler, who referred to work by the actress Angelina Jolie and Stacy Palmer, editor of The Chronicle of Philanthropy, who referred to work by Bono. Link
