Starting May 10, Habitat for Humanity Canada Global Village volunteers will embark on an 80-day trip around the world, building homes for families in Canada and abroad to mark the organization’s 10th anniversary “of volunteer engagement, international housing work and community development projects.”
“I am passionate about Global Village and wanted to raise awareness of the great work Canadians have been doing abroad through this program over the past 10 years,” said Alan Rendall, Global Village Team Leader in a statement released Monday (March 16), “Trips are the perfect combination of travel, a genuine cultural experience and the opportunity to give back to families in need.”
According to a press release,”Navigating eastward, 16 volunteer teams will build homes in 14 locations. Starting and ending in Canada, builds will happen in Prince Edward Island, Guatemala, El Salvador, Trinidad, Chile, Romania, Portugal, Zambia, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Hawaii, the Yukon and Alberta. For five days at each location, Canadian volunteers will work with local families to provide safe housing, strengthen communities and enrich lives.”
Founded in 1985, Habitat for Humanity Canada is a national, non-profit organization.
