So here's a bit of news from behind the scene. You may by now know that The Great Generation organises tailor-made volunteering projects for 6-12 volunteers at a time - might be to an arts-based project in India, or a gardening project in Uganda or teaching English to local Bedouin guides in Wild Jordan...but what happens after the volunteers return? This is where the Supply Chain comes in & what better way to give!The Supply Chain is a unique way for our volunteers to become ambassadors for the local communities whom they have lived and worked with during their project.
Our volunteers work together with our Expert Partners and local communities to identify small items which can make a big difference. We advertise these items on our website and individuals can donate with the knowledge that these items are identified by the volunteers and that the money is going to where it is needed most.
So, IMAGINE your friend has just come back from a volunteering arts-based project in New Delhi, India. Your friend tells you that the kids who attend the extra mural classes come from the local slums, are undernourished and have difficulty concentrating because they are so hungry. Your friend knows the project, knows the children, knows that money can help to buy food, art & craft material and other books & learning material...
You want to help!
The Great Generation in the meantime has already spoken to the expert partners in India to enquire where the real needs are and how much is needed to continue the chain of giving support to this community.
And this is how you can help:
FRUITS that give children energy
1 fruit a day for 1 child costs 8 Rupees
There are 10 children in a class
The community centre is open 20 days a month.
8 Rupees x 10 children x 20 days = 1,600 Rupees or about £24
PAINT CONTAINERS for their art class
1 paint container costs about 500 Rupees or £7
READING BOOKS for learning
1 reading book costs about 150 Rupees or £2
