18、ans, and the people who lived there. While some people managed to (34) and find safety outside of the city, many did not. Unfortunately, they were left (35) when the floods filled the streets and drowned their houses. It is hard to use too many (36) words to describe Katrina. It was one of the worst

23、to finally experience some of them? Why simply travel the world, though, when you can actively make a difference?

24、e communities in which you travel. Volunteer vacations are becoming increasingly popular, and many people are discovering that they have much more rewarding and satisfying travel experiences when they volunteer their time and energy to worthwhile causes.
