5 Reasons to Fund School Travel for Good

“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” Mary Ritter Beard

As parents and leaders it is our job to prepare the next generation for the challenges and obstacles life may bring. We at recruiting for good are making it our mission to help people change and see the world. And believe the best place to start inspiring change is in schools.

5 Reasons to Fund School Travel for Good

1) Travel teaches; that we are all the same, we breath, we drink, and we laugh like everyone else. Travel teaches compassion.

2) Travel teaches real life lessons about all the things we learn in books.

3) Travel inspires creative thinking. Young people are more in-tune with what is happening around the world.

4) Travel inspires participation. Seeing a problem, children will start their own causes to try to help and make a difference.

5) Travel is fun. With all the pressures of school, and education. Sometimes it just good to enjoy life and have fun.

“It’s better to hang out with people better than you.” Warren Buffet

Travel to Find People Better Than You

One of the best ways to learn about life, and find out who you are, and where you belong is when you travel away from your comfort. People will surround you, thinking you are better than them, and you will be attracted to them for the same reasons. Only to find out that you are all the same; beautiful human beings.

I want to live in a world where people unplug from their Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; and connect and engage in person (travel). “Look me in the eye and tell me you like my smile, you miss talking to me, and I will make you laugh.”

Greatest gift we can teach kids is to be themselves.

Let’s make it possible for our kids to find themselves, to genuinely connect to their humanity, and to make the world a better place to work and live.

Inspire your kids school to travel for good.
