Fundraising Events
Now that you’re home from your trip, why not do more? By spreading the word and going on a fundraising vacation you can fulfill a much greater role in the lives of the communities and the environments in which you were working. At the same time why not plan a trip and raise some funds to complete the package?
By joining a fundraising event or creating your own you can meet up or re-unite with ex-volunteers from around the world with whom you can share your experiences whilst helping the GVI Charitable Trust and GVI’s partners and fulfilling volunteer travel corporate social responsibility. Fundraising vacations are an amazing way to boost the longevity of the work you did volunteering overseas and provide you with a tailor-made challenge that enables you and your fellow volunteers to have an exciting reunion!
