City Government/Municipal Government - N/A, N/A, US
Since its inception in 2009, Building Sustainable Borders (B.S.B) has sent young people and their parents to the Dominican Republic and Haiti to participate in humanitarian missions, community service, cultural and educational exchange initiatives, and to distribute clothing, electronics, food, school supplies and sports equipment. The program has been a success because it has helped to expand and nourish positively their global vision of the world. This exchange helped each participants understand that people around the world, are more connected culturally and socially. In addition, the value of the exchange between our young people and their families was an experience of a lifetime. The mixing of cultures and backgrounds provided all of the young people with an unforgettable awareness of and lifelong appreciation for each other. Students participating in any out going international or coming to the United States on our trips benefit from a new understanding and blossoming friendships. There is no better way to learn about another country, its customs and their way of life of its people than by experiencing it firsthand. Experiences and skills they could never have learn by staying home: Maturity, Self Confidence, Self Awareness and they learn to become a global citizen, while learning the value of giving to others who needs a helping hand.
