What do you think of relief riders - view the video, is there something disquieting about this? Does it remind you of those old westerns?

see the site
www.reliefridersinternational.com

watch the film

Is this responsible?

Google ads just drew this opportunity to my attention – volunteering can come very cheap…
www.OriginalVolunteers.co.uk - Asia, Africa and the Americas from as little as £12 per week
Has anyone travelled with this company?
