ACTIONS speak lounder than words !

Many people have asked, "what is GHA?".

Global Humanitarian Adventures is a network of volunteers, service agencies & needs.

GHA has partnered with numerous service agencies including La Cruz Roja Panamena (Panama Red Cross) to provide each agency with volunteer coordination, project management & logistical support.  GHA then recruits volunteers locally & from around the globe to meet the needs that are presented & provide the ”global humanitarian adventure” of a lifetime.

Through our research & development stages, we realized how many truly want to help & be involved.  The 2 primary issues that future volunteers had were, 1) they did not know how to find these opportunities  2) they could not afford the ones that they did find.  Well, GHA presents solutions to both of these opportunities.We currently provide countless volunteer opportunities here in Panama… from childcare, education & nutrition -to- community development, disaster management & medical services.

GHA offers the most affordable “global humanitarian adventure”!  We believe that when someone is willing to donate their time & energy, they should be able to.  GHA offers packages including transportation, lodging, insurance, first aid training, volunteer opportunities & local adventures. 

GHA also offers FREE rustic accomodations (bring your hammock & tent) for those who want to help, but may not have the finances for a packaged tour.  We’ll present you with the opportunities, then you decide the adventure.  It really is that easy, why shouldn’t it be !

GHA was NOT founded on the principle of “making $”, it was founded on the principle of ”making a difference”. 

For financial stability, we fund-raise & recruit monthly donations.  To DONATE !

We have set out to “prove ourselves” not “sell ourselves”.  We believe in the old saying, “actions speak louder than words” ! 

So, in the last 7 weeks GHA has…
