Rural Community Insights

New group program to help rural poor
and children of developing countries!!

The “rural community insight” is our newest program. In this program, Global Crossroad develops meaningful volunteer abroad projects for groups (general public, university and college groups, medical schools, churches and businesses) in collaboration with local grass roots organizations, schools, and local communities. In each case, the benefits of your efforts, donations, and services go immediately and directly to poor children and communities where a little help makes a big difference.

The proposed program protects and supports children who live in extreme poverty, live an orphan life on the streets, work as child laborers, or can not get basic health care or the opportunity to go to school. The program also aims to support real community development efforts of local people.

In the rural community insights program, participants work directly with local villagers in village-based projects, sleeping in local houses, eating the same foods and working under the same conditions as those in the local community. In many cases, these communities are without much infrastructure - little or no electricity, modern toilets, or shower facilities.

Projects are available in Nepal, India, Tibet, Ghana, Kenya, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Ecuador, and soon to come in Mexico, and Brazil:

• Rural school construction and renovation projects
• Medical missions with public health components, such as eye clinics
• Construction and renovation of health posts, community centers, and youth centers
• Reforestation and green belt activities
• Other community development programs

Global Crossroad invites all of you to develop a small group and join this meaningful volunteer abroad journey and discover how your small efforts can help to make a world a better place.

Cost: The cost of the project is between $999 - $1299, excluding airfare and any donation to the project to help buy materials. The program fee covers all room, food, local transportation, and 1-2 days visiting local tourist attractions and natural wonders in the area. Global Crossroad also donates some funds for these community development projects.

Full program itinerary will be provided upon request.
