Review for Gaskov Clerge Foundation, Garden City, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I wanted to volunteer my services in Haiti but I wanted to be a part of an organization that was well organized. I was introduced to GCF. An Itenary package is prepared for you.You have a chance to review the package and decide if this is what you are volunteering for. The Pre-Mission orientation,volunteers get to meet each other before the day of departure. Receiving telephone calls and e-mail over the last few days before departure is quite reassuring. Arriving at the Airport with other volunteers and being escorted through baggage claims to your transportation, where you are provided with water and a snack. Arriving at your destination to find the organizers awaiting your arrival.The exitement of want to start seeing those people that we are there for heightens.Getting our assigned area,experiencing the careful planning that went into the great accomodation,meals and transportation, together contribute to us feeling appreciated. First night conference is oh so exciting, knowing what we will be doing the next day and how we will be going about it. Post conference after each days work is great also, what we did and how we are going to make it better the next day.Did I mention breakfast, I will have to say the best oatmeal that anyone has ever had is served there. For you to know how good it is you would have to volunteer with Gaskov Clerge Foundation.

the daily planning

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

build a Hospital.

Ways to make it better...

The hospital had the Equipment that was needed.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

They need a Facility of there own. They could do more if they had a Clinic.

About once a year
