4 Luxury Philanthropic Tailor Made Experiences

Let your travels take on a new light. Adding volunteering to your adventure can be an exciting and unique way to help share yours and others worldview. There are many different ways to be philanthropic within your travels. Our partners at Abercrombie & Kent have put together a few journeys that revolve around volunteering and charity with their Luxury Philanthropy Tailor Made Experiences. The experiences are available on almost every continent. We have listed a few of our favorite A&K Luxury Philanthropy Experiences to team up with local communities to inspire change.

Bwindi Community Hospital & Nursing School (Uganda): Visit the rural village of Bwindi to see how the community has partnered with A&K Philanthropy to grow a remote medical outpost into a thriving health care oasis serving 100,000 Ugandans. After a tour of the children’s ward and maternity wing, meet the local nursing school’s students and explore their learning lab, gaining insights into their training and inspiring personal goals.

Cambodia Clean Water Project (Cambodia): Stop in a rural village and meet with locals who’ve partnered with A&K Philanthropy to install bio-sand filtered wells as part of the Cambodia Clean Water Project. Hear firsthand how clean wells have reduced the incidence of deadly waterborne illness while benefiting agriculture and livestock.

Children of the Rainbow School (Peru): Visit the Children of the Rainbow School, a vital resource for the region’s least privileged children, in Peru’s Sacred Valley. See how the community has partnered with A&K Philanthropy to expand this kindergarten-through-sixth-grade elementary school’s outreach beyond education, growing it into an oasis of nutrition, medical care and hope. After a warm welcome from the children, tour the school’s cafeteria, kitchen, garden and classrooms, interacting with the children and gaining insights from A&K’s local Philanthropy Coordinator along the way.

Save the Florentine Monuments (Italy): Go off the beaten path to the 13th-century Basilica of Santissima Annunziata, where you will look in on an ambitious restoration project sponsored by A&K Philanthropy. Accompanied by a member of the small, on-site team of art restorers, visit the Giambologna Chapel, one of the Basilica’s many side chapels. Observe firsthand how restorers bring out the original features of its Renaissance artworks, which might otherwise be lost forever.
