“Underserved communities do not need a hand out, they need a hand up!”
In my travels around the world, I found out that some of the most underserved communities around the world, are in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Instead of simply enjoying their hospitality & landmarks of their lovely homeland, I decided that I would serve their community needs while experiencing their paradise.

“Our Future lies in our hands!”
The Secret to our Success
We establish a hands-on relationship with the target community & establish a hub that allows us to return with more resources & volunteers. Once we find the centralized problem in the community & we work with community leaders to solve the issue.
Ultimately, we know that one trip will not repair an entire community which is why it is essential that we maintain open communication with those community leaders.
Community Problems
Common community issues are: violence, crime, lack of education & resources.
Our Solutions
We restore schools, stadiums & libraries or whatever the community leaders decide is needed most.
Community Help
The restoration is a community event in which everyone in the local area can participate. This stimulates community morale & reduces crime significantly.
Paradise
After we serve alongside the community, we then take our members to enjoy the wonders of their destination.
