Welcome to Gap Chile’s Blog. To help you get a better idea of who we are and what we’re about let us tell you a little something about us:
Gap Chile is an organisation that celebrates people doing what they love; whether that is teaching English or learning how to surf. Gap Chile aims to help, support and fund projects based in Chile, South America who are all aiming to build up the community that surrounds them. For English speaking volunteers we provide the opportunity to embrace a diverse culture, gain experience in areas of their interest and try something new.
Why are we in business? We are in business to defend people who need it the most. For us; it is not about giving a small percentage of a volunteer’s fee to the end project in return for providing something for travellers to do or see. We want to offer community projects both practical and financial solutions. We are not about making a tidy profit for ourselves and this is why we pledge to give all of our profit to the Elisa Education Trust; which is the reason we strive to grow as a business (and what a nice reason too). We want to connect projects and provide a support network so that organisations can continue to function. We aim to ensure that people can experience the world they live in, help the world they live in and continue on to do what they love in the world we all live in. We are inspired by the places and the people that surround us and we want to share that with whoever we can. We know that we can’t make everybody happy…but there’s no harm in trying eh?
Enjoy!
Love,
The Gap Chile Team
