Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I am a volunteer on Friday mornings, a regular non afiliated, not associated group of individuals who sort and batch several medical supplies together.
I simply love Global Links concept: the fact that it was created in Pittsburgh by three women makes it even more real and inspiring.
The whole waste in medical supplies for reasons hidden behind safety or otherwise wasteful quality consumer standards, and its channeling through Global Links to South America and other at risk or short supplied areas is simply efficient and ethical.
We are under supervision of highly trained staff, who are very efficient, personable and excel in time efficiency for our efforts and energy. Every Friday I leave my volunteer assignment at 12pm, feeling richer and emerged in a sense of great self-accomplishment. I highly recommend this Organization for any award that might increase its visibility and expand its work. Also, they are very careful in recruiting volunteers, they are extremely ethical, giving a tour to all and presenting the founders and staff, who are are always friendly, although very focused.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have seen some old media reviews on Global Links and the history of their founders. I talked to other volunteers and each one s understanding of the organization goes deeper as they accumulate more hours doing volunteer work. I feel the organization is under appreciated and does go by relatively discretely even locally. I also know about Global Links from one grant that my Foundation once awarded in the past.
