On Giving Tuesday, many people around the world are going to come together and give back. It is a wonderful celebration of generosity and kindness. Whether giving back in your local community or at a nonprofit overseas, every act of kindness counts and can be life changing.
This time last year, Give a Day Global partnered with Strategic Solutions Partners (SSP) – a taskforce solutions provider and consulting firm for the hotel industry – to give the opportunity to SSP contractors to embark on a volunteer mission through a program called Giving Time. Since then, SSP volunteers have built homes for families in need in Guatemala and helped in the conservation of sea turtles in Costa Rica.
Not only did the SSP volunteers make a lasting impact in the lives of the families and wildlife that they assisted, they themselves made unforgettable connections to the global community and environment. See and hear firsthand from the volunteers in these heartwarming video clips (beautifully produced by UrLife Media):
LAYLA VOLUNTEERING AT FROM HOUSES TO HOMES IN GUATEMALA:
The power of strangers helping strangers is like a never-ending gift that keeps on giving”
“The experience made me want to find local volunteer opportunities and find a way to commit more time to volunteering with sea turtles and other marine life.”
Jenna Bennet – SSP Contractor
RICHARD VOLUNTEERING AT FROM HOUSES TO HOMES IN GUATEMALA:

We hope that you found inspiration in these heartwarming experiences to give back in your own way on this Giving Tuesday and beyond. You can learn more about SSP’s Giving Time program here and you can explore Give A Day Global volunteer opportunities here to give back on your next vacation.
