US: J.K. Rowling Breaks Down Why Volunteering At Orphanages Can Cause More Harm Than Good (Opinion)
The Huffington Post – August 25, 2016
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is at it again with her epic Twitter takedowns. In a series of 12 on-point tweets on Sunday, Rowling broke down why people shouldn’t volunteer in orphanages in poor countries. By volunteering with orphanages, or donating to them, well-meaning, but ignorant, donors end up supporting “orphanages run as businesses,” Rowling explained.
