Summer tourism with a twist is the theme this week on the World Vision Report. In Nepal, we follow a street vendor who sells an exotic musical instrument to support his wife and four children. If you’re in Shanghai this summer be sure to go see “Peasant DaVincis.” That’s an art exhibit of robots made by farmers. And we discuss “poverty tourism” -- tours through slums to see and experience how people live in much of the developing world. Those stories and more -- this week on the World Vision Report.
