Global Tracks believes it is important that we attempt to replace or at least compensate for what we take from the earth through volunteering or monetary donations. We urge all programs to take the time during their international trip to give back. One full day, one half day or just a few hours can make a big difference to not only the charitable cause, but also to the participants.
Global Tracks along with our client/groups have fed the needy in New York City, donated medicine and hospital supplies in Cuba, arranged for pediatric care in Rwanda, Ghana and Tanzania; and have taken time to read books to elementary students in China, Japan, Vietnam and Russia.
We feel fortunate that through our business and the generosity of our travelers, Global Tracks has had the pleasure of touching and changing many lives through our efforts to give back.
"Global Tracks organized a Purdue Pharmacy Alumni Cruise on the Danube. Joann provided clear information both by
mail and during a pre-trip presentation. Extra effort was expended to make sure that the pre-cruise visit to Budapest
was especially enjoyable. All who participated were extremely complimentary about how Global Tracks organized every
detail of the trip. People were so enthusiastic that at the reception on the last night of the cruise, there was
considerable discussion of having a reunion cruise sometime in the future. I do not think that anyone could have
organized the trip better and I would strongly recommend their services without reservation".
