Virtuous Vacations
Volunteering with children in need is one of our passions. So is travel. Why not combine the two and go on a Virtuous Vacation? Global Ambassadors for Childrenis an organization that sounds as if they balance the two very well-- for example, while in Kenya you will go on safari, bottle feed baby elephants, stay in nice hotels and work with children who have been abandoned, orphaned or left to fend for themselves. In Costa Rica, explore glorious beaches, volcanoes and the rainforest from your home base of famous eco-lodge Selva Verde and volunteer with local children at schools, community centers and orphanages.
Their Mission
Global Ambassadors for Children (GAFC) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving children around the world through short-term humanitarian service trips and sustainable programs.
Their Vision
Global Ambassadors for Children will make a significant impact on world peace and understanding through face-to-face cultural exchanges. GAFC trips provide hands-on interaction with disadvantaged children, balanced by opportunities for sightseeing and immersion in the native culture of the community served.
