Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I became involved with Global Links while I was an art student in Pittsburgh and it changed the course of my life. I learned at Global Links that performing work with the clear purpose of helping others is far more satisfying (for me) than painting a pretty picture. Global Links is especially effective because it feeds two birds with one scone by reducing waste in the United States while providing needed supplies to hospitals abroad. Who wouldn't want to get behind a mission that is both humanitarian AND environmental? Volunteers usually sort and pack medical supplies so that they can be sent abroad. The work is very simple yet, as an essential piece of what happens there, so important. I think it is wonderful to play any size role in such a wonderful operation.

feedback from recipient institutions (testimonials, pictures). In addition, the sheer physical quantity of material that Global Links keeps out of landfills is impressive.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
expand to other cities and get the word out more effectively to doctors and hospitals in order to recover as much 'waste' as possible.
Ways to make it better...
fund-raising, expansion, & spreading the word within medical institutions in the US (all interdependent).
