The Business
Global Brigade is a volunteer service that aims to empower rural communities
across the globe by giving business guidance and financial services. This year
our students will be traveling to Panama in order to gain a hands on experience
with community banks and local businesses. Global Brigades is the world’s
largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization and
as a Business Brigade our mission is to provide
micro-enterprise consultations and workshops to under-resourced communities
using savings and loans credit unions established and monitored by Global
Brigades”. For more information about Global Brigades please visit http://www.globalbrigades.org/ and check out this video.
The business brigade to Panama is a 7-day trip and the
estimated cost is $790 per individual. This estimate is inclusive of all meals,
lounging, coordinators, translators and in-country transportation. An
additional airfare fee is needed which ranges from $600 to $1000. Our primary
goal is to reduce this cost by fundraising and donations. The trip will take
place from June 14, 2014 to June 20, 2014.
We are currently looking for a students at Drexel
University that would be interested in this trip. If you are
interested in attending this trip, please contact me at kpp52@drexel.edu or at (732)-604-3755.
Sincerely,
