Operation Clean up!

By Daniel Sitarenios | Operations Manager

Dear Supports,

Looking back on the second quarter we’ve managed to play a role in enabling transitioning to a low carbon economy. Let’s take a look at one of our stories from our many locations around the world that fight to reduce carbon operations.

At the Contando con un Amigo school in Mexico, GVI volunteers and staff organized a plan to cover very important topics, like arts, physical education, English lessons, environmental education, among others.

GVI volunteers have planned activities using recycled materials and encouraged creativity to allow participants to discover their skills, starting the day with their favourite something!

During the summer course they included a fundraising event at Contando con un Amigo school. The 12 children that participated, with our GVI volunteers, collected in total an incredible amount of 715 plastic bottles from 1 km of the road that connects their community with the highway. For one hour GVI staff, volunteers and participants from the school walked 1 km, and collected plastic down the strong summer sun of Playa del Carmen. In the debrief, the children were very participative regarding the bad behaviour of throwing garbage in the jungle or the roads. The children were very excited to tell their teachers how many plastic bottles they picked up! These children are eager to learn and to become better citizens and with your aid them we can keep educating them on environmental issues.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued support in our mission to reduce the carbon offset and we look forward to creating a brighter future for us all!

With Love,

The GVI Trust

By Carly Kruyer | Operations Manager

Dear Supporters,

As we launch ourselves into 2019, we would like to take a look back on 2018 and say thank you to all our donors, supporters and partners for your contributions, without you, 2018 would not have been possible.

In 2018 we raised around £127,442.00 and thanks to your support, we were able to provide another year of support to over 30 projects in over 13 different countries.

To name a few of the things we accomplished in 2018 as a team;

In South Africa we delievered 81 sewing workshops, 2,395 computer lessons, 84 girls empowerment lessons.
In Nepal, HART ran a 5 day campaign that neutered and vaccinated 201 dogs.
In Laos they achieved their goal of sponsoring over 100 students and ran a Menstrual Health Initiative that has reached over 699 woman, which we recently raised £2,615 for in a fundraiser.
In India we raised $491 for the disaster relief after flooding.
In Thailand we continued to support our three elephants, Khum Suk, Lulu and Sadja, where they were able to spend another year free in the forest.
In Zimbabwe, we continued to support the healthy lunches of 250 day scholars, encouraging them to attend school.
In Akumal, we raised $1,737 in a fundraiser for diving equiptment and materials for the coral restoration project.
In Fiji we focused on the building of compost toilets, WaSH workshops, water usage and hygiene and sanitation.

There have been so many amazing things that have happened over 2018 and we are so thankful for everyone who contributed in there own way.

In 2018, The Trust has been working internally on many changes that we will be launching in 2019, such as a brand refresh, new website and new fundraising platforms!

We look forward to sharing another year strengthing communities and protecting our planet, as a team.
