About
Who is Global Support with a Mission?
We are advocates for children in the world who are victims of greed, poverty and human trafficking worldwide. We partner with organizations that are tackling these issues of poverty and injustice. Our vision is to cultivate a community of people that have a heart for the global poor by supporting or experiencing cross cultural mission trips that benefit at risk children around the world.
We provide you with a way to bring yourself, your resources, your time and your talents to interact with those from the developing nations in unique and meaningful ways. This interaction can very well be life changing. We want to help you become a global citizen, one trip at a time.
What sets us apart?
Two things set us apart from other mission trips and volunteer travel organizations.
First, we do not believe in gratuitous giving designed to just make us feel good.
All of our field projects have been determined by the end users and generally require participation by those who stand to benefit the most from our work.
Second, we recognize that often the greatest transformation from short term giving trips is in those of us exposed to a foreign culture for the first time.
We are purposeful to cultivate transformative opportunities through a series of pre and post meetings designed to take advantage of the experience. We continue to develop more short-term volunteer programs, opening up the possibility for more people to experience the satisfaction of global travel as a unique way of giving back and serving others.
Who have we helped?
- We support two street children now living with foster parents in Iquitos Peru as well offered consultation and teams to the Campos Blancos Children’s’ Center for children formally living on the street of Iquitos.
- We have given financial assistance to the Tiyamike Mulungu Children’s Center caring for children orphaned by aids in Bangula Malawi, Africa.
- We were able to contribute to the needs of a team going to Rwanda Africa and staying in the RNURC Peace village an intentional community of Tutsi and Hutu families building a peaceful life together in the aftermath of the war.
- We partner with Arms of Love, an organization that has Children’s Centers in 5 locations world wide. Our team will be leaving in August to work at the center in Bohol, Philippines, engaged with work projects and close interaction with the children at the center, as well as exposing our team to other organizations involved in preventive and/or advocacy work for abandoned children.
- We led a team in June, 2008 to work with the Alpha y Omega School in Acuna, Mexico. This school represents the only educational opportunity many of these kids have as the government run schools are prohibitively expensive and too far away from this poor section of Acuna. Our team worked alongside these students enhancing their school through involvement in community service. We were the first organization working directly with the children in a project focused on cross cultural interaction that directly benefited the school and promoted citizenship in the local students to “give back” to their community.
