Charities Within Reach Update

There has been a lot of activity with our non-profit Charities Within Reach! We encourage all travelers to give back to the countries to which they visit, and we can help.

Garage Sale — Eco Fundraising

CWR is encouraging local Colorado people to reduce, reuse, and recycle at our second annual fund raiser garage sale. Besides the basic sale of quality used items, there will be a bake sale, lemonade stand, and photo sale.

It will be held on June 28, 2008 behind the Adventures Within Reach office, and we can use donations and volunteers with this fun event!

Free A Child

CWR is sponsoring a volunteer trip to Nepal in honor of the 10th anniversary of Free A Child. This 13-day itinerary shows you the project in motion in the remote at-risk villages as well as taking you to some of the most beautiful and interesting regions of Nepal.

Shalom Orphanage

This is a popular stop for volunteers and donors while on safari in Tanzania. We have received donations of goods, time, and money from churches, schools, various organizations, and many individuals.

Global Porters Project

CWR is now working with the International Mountain Explorers Connection (IMEC) to gather and transfer clothing and gear to Tanzania and Nepal. Thanks to all the volunteers who have taken over extra bags of gear to be donated to the local porters!

Peru Schools

CWR continues to support remote schools in various parts of Peru. Our focus is to assist schools that are not in the main tourist areas and do not see many visitors or donations. CWR is now supporting children in Boca Amigo, a village in the remote jungle of Peru, the Children’s Land Promotion Center (CPTiNi) in Puerto Maldonado, and the Rumira public school near Ollantaytambo.

We can use your help!

CWR is always looking for volunteers to help with the various projects. You can live anywhere in the world and still help.
