"[...] By enacting critical community care, CareMongering groups have the potential to practice care that goes beyond simply caring for or about community needs to also care with communities.The hard work of critical community care involves an intersectional, reflexive, and relational approach that addresses underlying inequalities and promotes actions aimed toward making structural and collective change."

"Through CareMongering we see how carescapes (the spaces where care occurs) can be both virtual and material. We see how care is experienced differently by different communities and how individuals’ subjectivities and care work (both physical and emotional) impact one another.

"Although we are critical of [volunteer tourism] we also suggest that it has the potential to translate moments of heightened awareness into action through relationships of solidarity and support, rather than of fear and care. [...] one way of fostering this translation may be to shift the focus of volunteer tourism away from a uni- directional act of care (by saviours, for victims) and towards a relational commitment to justice that challenges systems of power that maintain oppression and uneven development."
