Give Back Beyond Building Homes & Hope in Romania, New Orleans & Ghana in 2010!
Join Give Back Beyond as we take a travel to Romania (April 16-25) New Orleans (Aug 7–15), and/or Ghana (October 9-24). During each trip we will work with the local Habitat for Humanity affiliates to provide decent affordable housing for families in need.
The team (approx 120 people for NOLA & 30 people for international trips) will be spending 5 days building homes (8 days for the 2 week trip to Ghana) working from approximately 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. daily. We will have opportunities to engage with the local culture and also have a lot of fun with an amazing team of volunteers..this is your quintessential work hard - play hard trip.
Please be aware that we will be doing hard physical labor, but it will be more rewarding than you can ever imagine. The cost of the trip is will include transportation to/from/around your destination, Hotel, and Breakfast/Lunch.
We expect the trip to be $500/person (NOLA), $2200 (Romania), and $4000 (Ghana) for trips. Please note that there may be some some optional R&R activities and incremental cost for NOLA. Additional out of pocket costs may be required for immunizations and passports for international participants.
For NOLA a deposit of $150 will be due at the kick-off meeting in March. Full cost of the trip will be due in May. For Romania a deposit of $500 will be due upon confirmation of the team in early February, and a similar deposit will be due for Ghana in late March.
All international applicants will have a conversation with team leads prior to team finalization to ensure all of your questions are answered.
Give Back Cincinnati will assist in a targeted fundraising event for each trip as well as provide plenty of suggestions for fundraising and an on-line location for you to direct donors. By signing-up you are committing to your ability to fund the full amount of the trip.
